Anyone has an @Home news server address

[ApexDealFollower]

@Home changed its local news server address (San Francisco Bay Area).

Usually it's "news". @Home Tech Support last year gave me "24.7.143.114" when I installed a SMC router and its firewall. That news server address has stopped working and @Home Tech Support will not issue another news server address except "news".

Does anyone uses @Home and has a news server address he or she can post?

Thanks

Here's one for San Diego.

news1.rdc1.sdca.home.com

Nope; using the above posted news server address, my news application couldn't connect with the @Home news server.

Anyone has an @Home news server address in xx.x.xxx.xxx (number) format?

Look at your DNS settings(if applicable), and use mail1.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx is the name of your name, as Grimm stated in teh above post. I havent ever heard of AT&T using numeric addresses for their news servers, although, I would think you could resolve mail1.xxx.xxx.xxx to a numeric address somehow...

Still not working after I entered "news1.haywd2.sfba.home.com".

I recall when I first encountered this news and mail non-connect problem after I installed the SMC router last year that SMC Tech Support told me that its routers only recognize number formated server addresses.

Thanks for the try.

What I did was connect my computer directly to the cable modem, set it up for "news" and then used their network tool to find the address. If you have an @home install CD it should be on there. It's a nifty little test app that they used to install when they set up your system.

That was a GOOD idea. Over the last weekend, after I connected directly to the cable modem, used "news" as an IP address, and ran the @Home CD, I got back a set of seven IP addresses and used and re-used each of them (even the obviously non-news ones) in my news application.

Nope, with a direct connection to the cable modem, I only got the news groups using "news" as an IP address, not with any of the seven IP addresses.

I guess I'll forego the news groups for now since I like using the SMC router for connecting multi-computers to one cable line and as a firewall.

Thanks again. That WAS a GOOD idea! :)

I am on the east coast @home system and I have never gotton news to work. I talked to tech support several times. I have tried the "news" address as well as several IP addresses they gave me. Nothing. I finally joined www.newsfeeds.com , they seem to have great coverage.
