Re: Re: Still having trouble accessing Usenet

No I messed up. I mistakenly hit "Start, run" and a command line came up, which I put in "nslookup..."
and you know the rest. Now I did get the command prompt
box and typed in the required info and it worked just fine.
Thanks for the headsup.

  Assuming you have Win XP, when you run Start>Run>cmd, you should get a command
  box that does not go away until you Exit out of the box.  Did you mistakenly do
  Start>Run and then type in "nslookup privatenews.microsoft.com"  ?

  Jan, I tried to do just as you suggested, but after I executed
  this command, the black dos box window disappeared. I never had a chance to
  read the result. Could you suggest a delay of somekind so that I could see the
  result.

    In a command prompt window (Start/Run/cmd), type
          nslookup privatenews.microsoft.com
    that should give you the IP address you need to
    fill in. I agree this shouldn't happen like this, I have no idea
    what's wrong.
