Problems with nntp

[edljobe]

Is anyone else having problems accessing the ng via nntp? I'm using OE here at work. I've dumped the folder and downloaded everything fresh, but half the time I get a TCP/IP error stating that it couldn't connect to the server. On folders that I havn't reloaded, no new topics will download.

Also, I made the last post via the web and I couldn't see it. I tried refresh. I had to close IE and reopen to see the post.

I just made a reply to another post via the web and the replie shows up when I read the thread, but the REPLIES column does not update on the main page. It still shows 0 replies. I refreshed, closed and reopened IE and it still show 0 replies.

I'm also having problems accessing the NG thru the NNTP. I keep getting the "Unable to connecto to server" message. Our IT department hasn't changed any settings here so I'm assuming it on the ADESK side.

I even followed the instructions for user's have problems accessing the NNTP with no luck. I even tried totally unsubscribing from "discussion.autodesk.com" and I still can't access anything.

I also am not getting any emails on watched threads. The second time I logged in, it kept telling me my password was invalid, so I requested to change it. The instruction email came 3 hours later. I wonder if the watched emails are just a half a day late. Maybe they'll show up eventually.

Ed - Overnight the NNTP and HTTP sides of the newsgroups were resynched. You should see all posts on both sides of the newsgroups now. There is a 1-2 minute delay between posts made on one side showing up on the other. -- Anne Brown Manager, Moderator Autodesk Product Support Discussion Groups Discussion Q&A: http://www.autodesk.com/discussion Ed Jobe wrote: > > I just made a reply to another post via the web and the replie shows up when I read the thread, but the REPLIES column does not update on the main page.

Does this affect watched notices too? I finally got the notice for this thread. It was dated December 18, 2003 06:57 AM. Almost a day late. Not very useful that way.

Anne:
Is the NNTP address still discussion.autodesk.com??
Just for kicks, I decided to unsubscribe then RE-subscribe to the newgroups and all I get is an "Unable to connect to server" error message. Our IT department has told me that they haven't made any changes in permissions to this particular URL. Is there something else I can try (other than the Web based version? I've grown kinda fond of the Newsreader). I'm using Outlook Express from Outlook 2002 on WinXP Pro.

Thanks in advance!

I too am using OE as newsgroup reader. I cannot see autodesk.autocad.customization.vba with that newsreader. I can see other autodesk newsgrps. I posted my prob on AUGI's Forum no one else seemed to have sim probs.

For now I plan to use the browser version, I have tried resetting closing and opening OE. Not luck

The main page has a note about the resetting the OE newsreader. http://discussion.autodesk.com/index.jspa

I tried it it works, but the only problem was that nobody is writting any new posts so I can't tell if it is refreshing.

Only I have found to see new news post in OE is to reset, and reload - Also only goes back to 12/10/2003 "Dirk Weber" wrote in message news:30422396.1072903746344.JavaMail.javamailuser@localhost... > The main page has a note about the resetting the OE newsreader. http://discussion.autodesk.com/index.jspa > > I tried it it works, but the only problem was that nobody is writting any new posts so I can't tell if it is refreshing.

OE will only check for new messages according to the interval you set in Options>General tab. How far it goes back depends the setting on the Options>Read tab>News>Get. If you have Get checked, it will only download the number of headers you specify. Uncheck it to download all headers, but it will slowdown daily operations.
