Subject: I don't know if I have a bug

Hi,
	My name is Minh and for some reason I cannot access any of the
newsgroups.  Whenever I try to open a newsgroup it will say "no such
host". I don't know why this is happening.  I used to be able to access
them fine.  This is really confusing- my brother's account works fine and
we are under the same server (the university of Calgary). Can you help
me?? I would appreciated it.

I suppose you are using ms-windows, or mac?!
if you are using Unix from school, probably get the lab consultent to
help

if you are using "netscape navigator" under "option", "mail&news
preferance", "servers", check the entry on your "news server name"
should be "news.calgary.edu" , or "news.calgary.ca"somthing like
that.......

You might try to check under Setup/Config whether nntp-server is set 
to the correct host. It should probably be news.ucalgary.ca (which I 
just checked exists.)

If not, then maybe you have a nameserver problem. Just here the other 
day the nameserver program on my login host died and I had the same 
problem as you did.

If that is the case, you can temporarily do as I did and put the IP 
number as nntp-server: 136.159.200.201.

Greetings,
Ørjan.
