Bonjour Peter Rooney
Pour mémoire, tu nous as écrit :

Well, I'm trying to get to: microsoft.public.fox.programmer.exchange and I
get a 60-second timeout, and a message:
Header download for "microsoft.public.fox.programmer.exchange" did not
complete . . news.east.earthlink.net . . error 0x800C006F .
I haven't gotten anything new since Nov. 5
Is it just me? Other newsgroups are still alive for me.

on my POV, it's just you

did u try to cancel and then re-add this NG?

I followed your suggestion to unsubscribe and resubcribe. The newsreader
downloaded 6 messages, and then got stuck. Maybe the 7th message was too big
or has a virus. It is right after a message from Fred Taylor dated 11/5/03
at 9:48 pm. Can you look in that vicinity and say if you see any odd
message?

So I unsubscribed and resubscribed.
The newsreader started to load messages, and succeeded in retrieving 6
messages. It got stuck on the 7th. Is it possible it's too big or has a
virus? This

I unsubscribed and resubscribed, and it still doesn't work. It downloads 6
messages, then gets stuck after a message from Fred Taylor of November 5,
9:48 pm. Could you check if there's any unusual message in that vicinity?
maybe too big, maybe with a virus?
I'd appreciate it highly.

Works Ok for me too. Are you accessing msnews.microsoft.com
directly or rather through a mirror, of your ISP for example?

Stefan Wuebbe gave a good hint. I can now call the newsgroup directly, as
follows:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups...ammer.exchange

and which is in a favorite list. Although I prefer the interface of my ISP.
That problem is still to be resolved. So thanks.

Bonjour Stefan

hm, you're right (as usual ... it was obvious for me that one used
directly the msnews server .... <s>
