As compared with:
The first FQDN points to a Globix IP address assigned to an entity called, "Digital Impact".

The second FQDN points to a Giganews IP address.

This change worked for me also.

But why is this change required?
newsgroups.comcast.net has always been the "official" server name. news.comcast.net was an alias that has not been supported in years.

What do you have for the IP address? It's looking like opendns.org has a corrupted DNS entry for it.
07/08/08 22:19:35 dns news.comcast.net
Canonical name: news.comcast.net
Addresses: 209.11.136.183

I use OpenDNS . . . no problems here.
