| [BC] Usenet down on Shaw again? Anyone else not able to connect to the newsgroup server? I
have been using shawnews.vc.shawcable.net and
newsfarm.iad.highwinds-media.com before with no problems.
I have not been able to connect for the past 4 weeks. Has
shaw finally discontinued usenet service? |
|
| No problems for me all 5 connections working. |

Rather than using the absolute domain names you listed above, why not try using the SHAW recommended proxy server "news.shawcable.net"? It's working for me. |
|
| I've tried 'shawnews' and 'news.shawcable.net' and they don't work. The weird thing
is it stopped working when there was a network outage, but after I got back online
with no help from customer support, I could no longer access Usenet. I can ping the
news server address that resolve to the newsfarm at:
69.16.185.250 and 69.26.185.147
Here are the nslookups:
C:\Documents and Settings\MYKEY>nslookup shawnews
Server: pd2nsc3.st.vc.shawcable.net
Address: 64.59.144.92
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: newsfarm.iad.highwinds-media.com
Addresses: 69.16.185.247, 69.16.185.250
Aliases: shawnews.vc.shawcable.net, news.shawcable.net
C:\Documents and Settings\MYKEY>nslookup news.shawcable.net
Server: pd2nsc3.st.vc.shawcable.net
Address: 64.59.144.92
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: newsfarm.iad.highwinds-media.com
Addresses: 69.16.185.250, 69.16.185.247
Aliases: news.shawcable.net
When I telnet to the addresses above, I get no response from the server at all.
I even disconnected my router and connected directly through the modem
even though I've made no changes to me router and no change in results.
Weird. Any suggestions? |
