281812 2004-10-17 03:26:00 Just installed a new m/board (Asus P4C800-E and 3.0 GHz Northwood cpu) and reinstalled win2000, but I am having problems connecting to Xtra's news server news.xtra.co.nz. Most times I get a message that says 'too many connections' and goes on about 4 connections per host etc. When I do get in, I cannot post any messages to the newsgroup; the browser says 'Message sent, waiting for reply' but the reply never comes. The browser setup is the same as before I upgraded the m/b.

I can't tell whether it's my setup at fault, or whether Xtra is having problems with its news server, since with regular email I have no problem.

Any and all clues welcomed.
