Newsgroups

Hi all,

Over the last week or so I keep getting 'Newsgroup
unavailable' on several of the managed newsgroups. Anyone
know whats going on - routine maintenance?

Hello Pete,

Thanks for your post. I have been posting in the several groups say,
dotnet.general, dotnet.framework, etc, and they work properly during the
last several weeks. Would you please tell me which groups you experienced
the problem? What's the detailed error message?

In addition, I recommend you contact our MSDN Customer Service when you are
in trouble. Please refer to
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/resources/phonelist.asp>. As
stated there, to speak to a customer service representative for such issue,
you can call the MSDN Customer Service Center at (800) 759-5474 department
A622WEB. You can also call from outside the United States using, (925)
275-0763.

Hope this helps.

Tian,

Thanks for the reply. I am now accessing the newsgroups via Outlook Express
and all seems OK. However prior to today, I used IE6 to access the groups (I
wont any more as I thought outlook express would be quite slow synchronizing
the mails, but its pretty quick.) when I browse out to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/managed/ some groups show as 'News
group unavailable' where the posts normally appear. Also on some groups I
see the posts but after paging through the first 2 pages or so I again get
the 'Newsgroup Unavailable'.

I have just had a quick look at the groups through IE and get the error on:

dotnet.general - can page through 2 pages and then get the Newsgroup
unavailable

dotnet.framework - Newsgroup unavailable

dotnet.framework.adonet - Newsgroup unavailable

dotnet.framework.aspnet - After 1 page Newsgroup unavailable

dotnet.framework.aspnet.buildingcontrols - after 1 page Newsgroup
unavailable

dotnet.framework.aspnet.caching - seems OK can page etc.

dotnet.framework.aspnet.dayagridcontrol - seems OK

dotnet.framework.aspnet.mobile - seems OK

dotnet.framework.aspnet.security - Newsgroup unavailable

dotnet.framework.aspnet.webcontrols - seems OK

dotnet.framework.aspnet.webservices - seems OK

dotnet.framework.interop - Newsgroup unavailable

dotnet.framework.odbcnet - Newsgroup unavailable

dotnet.framework.sdk - Newsgroup unavailable

dotnet.framework.windowsforms - seems OK

dotnet.framework.windowsforms.controls - seems OK

dotnet.framework.windowsforms.databinding - Newsgroup unavailable

dotnet.framework.windowsforms.design - seems OK

win32.programmer.wmi - Newsgroup unavailable

Odd isn't it.

King Regards, Pete.

Hello Pete,

Thanks a lot for your informaiton. Generally speaking, we recommend access
the newsgroups in Outlook Express. In the meantime, I have reported your
feedback to our MSDN Customer Service about the visiting the newsgroup in
IE.

Have a nice day!
