As you know, this happens from time to time and it seem only you have the magic to get it sorted.

Noted, I'll try and take a look tomorrow (assuming it's still happening?)

[#3]

Still happening here at 22:30 on Monday 13/5/24.

Still happening for me too. Is there a way to prevent the problem occurring every few months? It's good that the problem usually gets fixed fairly quickly, but it would be so nice if it stayed fixed and never failed again.

@bobpullen 

Thank you. It is still happening as of my posting this.

Looking back, I found a similar thread in November 2023, roughly 6 months ago. Perhaps something happens with your supplier every 6 months?

Still a problem - at least for me.

[#7]

I flagged the problem earlier today so all being well, normal service should be resumed before too long.

[#8]

Still not working here

[#9]

It's working for me now.

[#10]

Working for me again for the last few hours.

[#11]

Working fine now. Thanks for sticking another shilling in the meter! 😀

Is there any solution that would enable access to the Usenet service when away from the ISP address, other than running some sort of gateway on a machine at home?
