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. |

Not only free, but scads BETTER than OE. But, familiarity is a nice benefit. [text was edited by author 2003-08-08 10:06:56] |

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. |
