77684 2002-09-08 10:48:00 Is the paradise news server down, or am i having alot of problems with my own network?

I cant get to any news server, with any news reader from any machine... (mumble-o-grumble) and paradise don't seem to update thier network outages pages any more.

77688 2002-09-08 12:08:00 I don't have any news software installed at the moment, but pinging news.paradise.net.nz fails.

What about http://groups.google.com/ ?

77689 2002-09-08 12:14:00 seems it's been down for about 24 hours now
mmmmmmmmmm.....
odd, it's been such a good server too, must have melted down or something!

77690 2002-09-08 16:08:00 Yes you are right, no time given by "Paradise Hot Line" when it will be back to normal.

Have you tried msnews.microsoft.com

not too sure if there are anymore around.

77692 2002-09-08 23:06:00 Fortunatly i have a speaker phone... i shall ring paradise... 9:39am
"thankyou for ringing telstra clear..........
<yawn>
<insert rolls eyes icon here>"



"thankyou for continuing to hold, we will be with you a quickly as possible" 09:43

screaming feedback when they answer & i pick up the phone 09:44 oops! they hung up.

I ring back. Instant answer 09:45 (what's going on here?)

P: no idea when it is back.
C: So it melted?
P: That sums it up.


Hey john, did Dyan say how she got on with that dictionary you gave her?
Chris Wilson (431)
77693 2002-09-08 23:13:00 Sounds familiar. The last time I had to ring them I steeled myself to be on my best behaviour, put a good CD on, put headset on for phone, and then just ignored it until someone answered. I suppose a speaker phone is less likely to intrude on listening to the CD and working...

No, haven't heard from her. Did it install OK?

Have you downloaded the XP service pack (113 MB)? If you want a CD burnt, led me know.
