OT - German newsserver

Could someone tell me the name to that free German newsserver that a lot of
you use? I'm still having problems with newscene (grrrr, they were perfect
for 3 years, why now???) and willing to try another server. Thank you for
your help.

Go to the website http://news.individual.de

You'll have to register, but it's free. They'll send you a password to
use. The site also has info on how to configure your software to use
them.

Note that this is the same free German news server that a lot of
people have used over the years, but they've changed their domain
within the last year and want people to use this new one (though the
old one still works, the last time I checked anyway)

Hey, I am having trouble too!! What gives. This is what newsguy was doing to
me when I tried it. However, I lost my username and password to the german
server and repeated requests to them have done me no good since they became
netindividual or whatever it is they call themselves now. I'm getting
perturbed!!!!!

Just sign up again, Karen.

I'm still getting news through news.cis.dfn.de which is the old name for
individual.net. I have *never* had a problem with them, although I can
imagine if you need technical support to get your newsgroups up and running,
these guys aren't for you. They are actually a better Usenet server than the
ones that comes with the ISP I dial into at home.

I just applied for my username and password, but it will take a while
because they respond individually. I am really hoping this will work. I'll
keep newscene for a month or so, but if this new server is better I will
drop newscene and save myself some $$$. Seems stupid to pay every month and
be losing dozens of posts per day.
That's too bad that you lost your username and password to the german
server. Can you maybe just reapply with another email address and start
over?
Good luck to you, let's hope our problems get solved for good!

Thank you so much for the info, it's exactly what I was looking for. I've
applied for the password, etc, so now just have to wait. I hope it works
better than newscene has been working for me lately!

Thanks Vickie. I think I will do that.

It's been working fine for me, except for a few times that I haven't been
able to connect to the server, but that usually only lasts a couple of
minutes.

Re cats, Britta, I had the funniest dream tonight. I dreamt that a Vino
lookalike came to visit us. I thought in the dream, "but it can't be Vino.
Vino's in Thailand. I have to get a picture of this cat to show Britta." But
the cat wouldn't sit still for me. The strange thing was that Frank and
Nikki were interested but not aggressive, and I was thinking, if he doesn't
belong to anyone I could keep him, and then I would have my very own orange
tabby. ;o)

Wow, that is a funny dream, Marina! Do you think that maybe Vino ghosted
over during the night? I mean he got onto that pirate ship didn't he?
Anything's possible...
