*I may not have been clear, I am talking about usenet, not these particular
groups.
I participate in several groups on usenet and have been unable to post to
any of them, including alt.test

*What would be the "correct" group in this forum?

*I either hit the reply or creat a new message, when I am done typing I hit
send and then... it never appears.
However on my laptop, it will post. It uses the same server,dsl
modem/router, logon... same everything. The only exception is a different
nickname being used to post.

I am connected through my LAN, DSL router, bellsouth.net news server. My
network is not wireless.

I am not having any trouble with email or any other service, just usenet.



Yesterday I ran a system restore to the 7th, the day before it stopped
posting.. It did not help.
I also booted to a different hard drive running a seperate installation of
XP. I created a newsgroup account in Outlook Express and tried to post to
alt.test. Again, it did not appear.

Thank you Adam. I can usually figure these things out but am stumped this
time.

Thank you Frank,
I tried it, it did not work.
Since my post yesterday I have tried the following:
Complete virus scan using Avast. No virii found.
Disabled McAfee virus scan for mail and news.
I installed Foret Agent, a news and mail program, it too did not post but
was able to receive both mail and news.

So at this point I believe that it is definitely not OE and I doubt that it
is my server as it continues to post from my laptop.
Could it be a hitch in my registry or firewall?

Again, many thanks for those of you in the know who are willing to help.
When I DO find the solution I will be sure to post it
Kate
