I could just reset the modem and get a different IP, but, from a post I
just read in alt.provider.earthlink, that may not fix the problem
either. Apparently sprint sometimes opens up a new block of addresses
and informs earthlink. Earthlink is 'supposed' to add these to their
'approved' list of IPs that can access the news servers, they
apparently haven't done what they're supposed to do. I've emailed
sprint with the transscript of my chat session with El and will see
what they say.

I like e-link, but hate sprint.
E-link has been my ISP since 1995, but my sister's business used sprint
for hosting, and I went nuts trying to get crap straight, so much so
that I finally told my sister either get rid of sprint or get someone
else to deal with them. I don't think sprint should be allowed to be an
ISP (along with comcast).
Actually Sprint's not the ISP, its just the DSL provider, EL is the ISP. The
problem seems straightened out now so either Sprint or EL did something.
for my money, they might as well be one in the same, I know sprint and
e-link have some incestuous relationships...
