Why question what I posted when it is so very simple to prove this for
yourself? Use PING, TRACERT or other favourite tool and you will find
that both msnews.microsoft.com and news.microsoft.com resolve to the same
IP address. Currently both resolve here to 207.46.248.16 but this can
vary as MS used to use two if not 3 IPs for their news server but that may
have now changed.

Please Note:
This message was sent using the address msnews.microsoft.com for the
Microsoft news server.

Because, in some way or other your PC is screwed. I've made various
suggestions as to what may be causing this.

Re: Mike, Joan, Web and SS...

So, two replies, virtually identical, one posted to the
microsoft.public.windowsme.general newsgroup on the news.microsoft.com
newserver and the other to the same newsgroup but on the
msnews.microsoft.com news server and, lo and behold, both messages appear
on both servers.

From the headers, the posting paths are identical
news.microsoft.com
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:16:46 +0100
Path: TK2MSFTNGP01.phx.gbl!TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl

msnews.microsoft.com
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:20:55 +0100
Path: TK2MSFTNGP01.phx.gbl!TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl

Proving, to me at least, that the two news servers addresses are in fact
the same server.

Jeanette,
Your problem has to be local to your PC and I feel is probably hiding
somewhere in your registry in the
HKCU\Identities\{ big ugly number }\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0
key, most likely somewhere in the Rules\News sub-key.

Such an accolade - I feel very humbled.

My greatest talent is that not only can I make a worst fist of things than
most, I can do it far cheaper!! Why pay huge salaries to the politicians
and the barons of industry? The going-rate? Just unnecessary and I'd throw
in a 37.5 hr. week with no golden goodbye clause at no extra cost.

What a bargain!

However the spectre of a big top in Mudchester's Piccadilly Circus can only
be a sight to behold.

huuuuuuuuuuuge siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh,,, in that case, i have no answers at all.
the last time i posted here, all was fine, this time, its all kaput.
i am not a 'registry' person and wouldnt even know what to look for.
thanks for your time mike

oh,, one thing tho'.. why do you feel my problem has anything to do o/e 5? as mentioned above

> oh,, one thing tho'.. why do you feel my problem has anything to

Jeanette,

I don't. <vbg> You are however posting using Outlook Express and the
registry key(s) I mentioned are where the rules are located be it OE5,
OE5,5 or OE6 that you are using.

From the headers of your post
X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106
which tells me that you are using Outlook Express 6, not fully patched
however as the latest version for use with Win Me would show
X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1478.

6.00.2800.1106 is the version that is part of IE6 SP1 (released late 2002)
but without the subsequent Cumulative Security patches for OE, the last of
which was released in April 2004 [KB837009, MS04-013: Cumulative Security
Update for Outlook Express] which takes OE to 6.00.2800.1409. To go to
6.00.2800.1478 would mean you then installing the later Cumulative Update
for Outlook Express 6 SP1 [KB887797] that was released in December 2004.

Incidentally I am NOT saying that installing the missing patches would
solve the problem you are seeing. Likewise I'm not suggesting you dive in
to the registry. Unfortunately I'm at a loss as to what to suggest to
help you as we seem to have explored all avenues.

Re: Mike, Joan, Web and SS...

http://www.insideoe.com/tips/ and
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm are a couple of great places to
find the solution to issues with OE. I'm not saying that you will find the
answer to your issue, but, there is access to folks that may. If Mike is
perplexed, that's not good! Hopefully, you can find the answer
soon.....best wishes.

Re: Mike, Joan, Web and SS...

S'cuse buttinski Mike, - just wonder if Jeanette actually did the reset you
(very) briefly mentioned in your first post. (Unless I've missed something
<g>)

Apologies in advance if you've already tried this Jeanette. If so please
ignore, otherwise :-

In Outlook Express, highlight the winme.general newsgroup (not the thread)
right-click and select Properties, then the Local tab and choose the Reset
option. (which will clear ALL contents of the winme.general newsgroup).
Click to another group and then return to the winme.general group.

Hopefully your missing post will have now returned.

Mart

Re: Mike, Joan, Web and SS...

ROFL!! JUST FINISHED THEM!!

And I smell like a pickle factory.....but damn, they look good. Got 15
jars for 2 days of labour, but well worth it.

I think the slicing and dicing is the worst part......but I *seconded*
Ron to do the sterilization chore (be quiet, Loon) and that worked a lot
better.

Now back to the more mundane things in life. (G)

Re: Mike, Joan, Web and SS...

There's only one problem, HL, those Claussen Dills have all kinds of
chemicals mixed in with them for good taste and preservation, including
yellow color, which is quite detrimental for your body. You just may need
'sterilization', if you eat enough of them (like fifteen jars full) <bg>.

Re: Mike, Joan, Web and SS...

You must be thinking about a different pickle, H. The Claussen's only have
a little sodium benzoate as a flavor preservative and no yellow coloring
(the cucumbers are naturally green!). I guess you could call salt and
vinegar chemicals, but, for the most part, these are like homemade. You
should try them, they are Kosher!
Heirloom, old and rarely eat them anyway

Re: Mike, Joan, Web and SS...

You would have to try these to understand, hunny bunny!! They are the
absolute BEST pickles in North America, lol. And I detest dill pickles,
btw. Grandmaw's recipe has to be 100 years old and my strait-laced
Pennsylvania Deutsch ancestor was using "turmeric"??? Hmm.

You can't buy anything that tastes like these, which is why I spend 2
days making them. But total time is probably more like 6 hours. Never
timed it, but damn near lost a thumb slicing up the cucumbers.....those
*mandolins* are razor sharp!!

Lost half of a thumb nail though.....good thing I didn't cut the claws!!

Kissies.....PL.

Re: Mike, Joan, Web and SS...

I tried Mrs Creutzfeldt-Jakob's Dill Pickles from the Nanomart and didn't
like them. What I want are ones that taste like what you get in Subway and
Burger King.

Re: Mike, Joan, Web and SS...

hi mister buttinski,,,,
thank you for joining......

keep your fingers crossed for me, because i have done exactly what you said a few seconds ago,,
including even shutting down o/e.

all posts (to me) now look like they have not been read by me at all,,, and heres something else
too,, i can even see some other posters who obviously chimed in,, and some in early stages of
thread too.... (tearing hair out, can you hear the screeeeeeeaaams!!!)

anyway.. i am now posting this as a reply to your post,, and am hoping like charly that when i
return in a little while, that i can see my reply,,
hey,, i will also post a post called J's test,, a brand new one, because that is where it all
started.... the fact that i cant see any of my posts, whether new or replying.

finally, thank you to all,, this is all getting a bit weird,,, you'd think that all that
wiring inside the box, and all the little chips and their friends, would be aware of the problem and
working overtime to fix it... sigh.

That you did.....but I believe it was in reference to me sterilizing
Ron, lol. I was amazed at how easily the blade went thru my nail tho.
I have very hard, strong nails and thanks to you know who for that. It
totally grossed Ron out, lol.

Tell Joanie the fun is wondering who will find the thumb......rather
like a coin in a birthday cake (ugh, grossed myself out!!).....grin.
