Re: Lost All Newsgroups/Error Message

Sorry about that - I'm not totally with it as far as computer savvy goes....
let's try this:

Hope this can help you figure out my problem!!! Alex Allen

That's not the NNTP log. No wonder it didn't make any sense.

The log should look more like this:

The log should be in the same folder as the DBX files (look at Tools,
Options, Maintenace, Store Folder) with a name of the news server .LOG

Hopefully attached below.... Thanks one more time!

reset
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp\Parameters\Options\15\RegLocation
old REG_MULTI_SZ =

SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\?\DhcpDomain

SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TcpIp\Parameters\DhcpDomain

<completed>

Obviously this is beyond me, so thanks a bunch...

Michael: I did want to leave word that I did create a log that has
a
lot of
technical data that I could never begin to understand. The enrty at
the
bottom does read: bad value was: REG_MULTI_SZ=PSched
Does this mean anything? I don't know how to attach the log for you
to
look
at.. Thanks, Alex Allen

Since the Telnet command worked, that means it's not an issue of
port
119 being blocked entirely. Although firewalls can generally be
setup
to allow traffic on a port for some programs while blocking
others.

And if it were some corruption in OE data files or registry, the
new
identity should not have had that problem.

You may want to create an NNTP log with will show more details
about
the
communications between Outlook Express and your news server.
Select
Tools, Options, Maintenance, Troubleshooting, News. Then access
the
news server. The log will be created in the same folder with your
DBX
files (see Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder). You may
need
to
close OE after accessing the news server for the log to get
written
to
disk.

Thanks for getting back, Mike. I tried your suggestion with the
command and
it responded correctly. I am not using a router & use 2003
Office
Pro
if that
helps.... AH Allen

Try a Start, Run and enter the following command

telnet xxxx 119

where xxxx is the news server name. You can try your ISP's
news
server
and Microsoft's.

If you can connect, it should respond with a command window and
an
identifying message from the news server starting with "200".
If
it
does, type QUIT then press Enter to exit.

If you cannot connect, then you know that the problem is
outside
of
OE.

Are you going though any sort of Router?

Ooops! I have been unable to set up MS news successfully. I
also
created a
new identity and tried that with no success. I made sure all
firewalls
were
off before I did this. If it is a firewall issue, are there
any
"simple"
remedies. Thanks again for your input!

Installing or uninstalling IE7 should not have affected your

IE has nothing to do with newsgroups.

Try setting up the Microsoft news server and see if that
works
OK.

http://www.insideoe.com/resources/communities.htm#setupmsnews

If that works, then it points to a problem with your ISP's
news
server
or settings for it. In that case, try removing the news
account,
restart OE and set it up again. If you still have problems,
try
setting
it up in a new identity.

If the Microsoft news server also fails, that could point to
a
firewall
issue.

I had Explorer 7 downloaded, decided I did not like it, so
returned
to
my old
Explorer 6. On Outlook Express, the newsgroups
disappeared.
When
I
try
to
re-set them, I get an error message that says "Your NNTP
server
has
not
responded in 60 seconds, do you want to continue". Nothing
else
ever
happens.
The settings are the same as before and I had no problem
accessing
newsgroups. I went thru a session with the local provider
(Time
Warner) and
the technician said it appeared to be a problem with IE.
If
there
any
help or
suggestion out there... Thanks!
