news.simracing.org ... (206.27.21.29)

I have tried several times to get this forum and I'm unable to do so. I'm thinking it is because this is a news server and not a news group. If that is the case, just how do I go about receiving the posts on there? I sure could use some enlightenment on this one... Thanks for any help you guys can supply. ... Terry

Terry If you are using IE5 go to Tools-->Accounts --->News --> click on "add" button--->news then fill in the blanks as they appear in the form. Once you've signed up with the server you'll be able to download the list of newsgroups from it. I'm not familiar with Netscape so can't help you there. David

I also can't get the 206.27.21.29 newsgroup to work anymore. It a wonder there have not been more post with people not getting the messages. > I have tried several times to get this forum and I'm unable to do so. > I'm thinking it is because this is a news server and not a news group. > If that is the case, just how do I go about receiving the posts on > there?

I think it went down and Jacob hasn't yet found out. :-)

Jacob posted a few days ago that he might be taking the server down for work or updates on Saturday. He did not say how long it would be down. Wayne Templin
