Yeppers. I don't get it. One post didn't go through, the next one
did, then none after that went out. The error message I get is:
No servers in the access plan carry the newsgroup rec.food.cooking

I've been getting that when I download headers, too, but in the
meantime, the headers are happily downloading, anyway. Same for both
charter.net and ultrafeed.

ObLaundry: I'm getting a lot done, since I'm not posting!

When I switched servers Agent did some weird stuff to me too. When I
got it to allow posting (in a test group) the headers were still
showing up with the old server. It was also getting confused as to
which headers had already been downloaded and getting everything when
I went for new headers. I un subscribed and did NOT save properties
and started over with each group and it worked fine from then on. I
don't know if that will help you as I'm using an old version of Agent.

You got me thinking, now. My DSL line is through verizon, but my
primary news server for Agent is earthlink.east. I know when I do
this, Verizon has to act as a sort of proxy to get access to
earthlink's news server. Ditto for email. For quite a while the 2
didn't talk to each other.

Is the problem maybe related to inter-ISP link-up?

Alex, puzzled.

Not a proxy issue at all. Your ISP i.e. Verizon gets you the physical
and logical connection to the Internet, your access to various other
servers on the Internet i.e. an Earthlink NNTP server is independent of
the ISP.
