News server

Any one else getting "The server could not be found". I have not been able to read any of the news groups for a few days now.

I used the newservers about 2 days ago without any problems. But I only use it for fills, so I haven't been on there lately to see.

I hit the newsgroup server at least twice a day (primarily for the humor in the non-moderated wow.support group) and have not experienced any access issues for several months now.

Found out my problem is with Outlook Express. News server works fine with News Rover.

I was going to confirm that it wasn't a news server problem. I used the heck out of it last night with no issues.

Glad it's fixed for you.

Well, it is not fixed, I need to figure out how to get Outlook Express working again. I am not going to pay for a new reader when I have one that should work. Just got to figure out what is wrong.

There are many free newsreaders not to mention just try adding/removing @wideopenwest.com in your username...(In outlook express)

No, I tried all that. There is some thing screwy with OE.

Not only free, but scads BETTER than OE. But, familiarity is a nice benefit.

My WOW directions say to use www.news.wowway.com for the news server but I also received the "Could not find server" error. I changed to "news.wowway.com" and it works perfectly.

Good Luck!

Never heard of an NNTP based news server address having a www prefix. No wonder it didn't work that way.
