Re: [NV] USENET Service down

Unable to connect.
The following error occurred:
502 Permission Denied - Server authorization temporarily stalled try again (Tornado V1.0.9.482)

Same notice connected directly...

Direct connection, or through my router there is not a bit of difference except the nat protection of the router: connection, service or speed, is the same or similar in the same time frames. I have two routers and have changed them while on the phone with cox support.

But I have little understanding why the Usenet connection would be different than other on-line services offered by Cox direct or through the net safe router. If the www service was as bad as the Usenet service has been for me and my neighbors the last 90 days cox subscribers would have revolted, and would be leaving Cox in droves if they were not in a monopolistic situation...

The only difference in a direct connection it is difficult to use a Linux operating system with the Cox phone support... Cox Communications does not have the skills nor do I have the ability to be helpful to a very good Linux specialist than can provide support a non-microsoft operating system on PC hardware.

I am only a User that has found 64-bit Linux works well and seldom crashes. I have an anti-virus and get virus notifications in e-mail from windows users but they are captured immediately.

Another reason for 64-bit; this computer does not fills up with bad 64-bit flash and Java infections because there is no 64-bit Flash and Java for Microsoft or Linux computers...

Permission denied sounds like you're either trying to connection for a non-Cox Internet connection or your newsreader is sending a user/pass and shouldn't be. Be sure you are not set to use any authentication when trying to connect.
