...hmmmnn...next question - can I specify an Account Server by it's
IP address instead of using it's name?
Example?
forex: I get my usnet access via my ISP server - netnews.mchsi.com -
but there doesn't seem to be a way for me to access it off my home
network.
I've been wondering if I were to set up the account using the server
IP address instead of "netnews.mchsi.com" if I might be able to
access it from anywhere on any network - which I'd like to do when
using my laptop and roaming around.
From the previous, it's dawned on my to collect the server IP addy
from the .js file mentioned.
This help?
$ host netnews.mchsi.com
netnews.mchsi.com is an alias for news.isp.giganews.com.
news.isp.giganews.com has address 216.196.97.142
I think each ISP that contracts to Giganews likely gets it's own subnet
as part of it's service contract - I've tried using the Giganews server
names and not gotten anywhere...but I'll try some permutations of the
above and see where I get. I think I'll need to be on another network to
really test it though, and/or need the specific IP addy for the MCHSI
server itself.
I've found some discussion on this (off-net access to
newtnews.mchsi.com) on the web, but now answer. You can use SSL and
password for accessing e-mail, but that doesn't work for accessing their
NNTP server.
Followup - I was able to create an Account on the Giganews server (using
the server name) which I can access on my home net...now I just need to
try that Account across an away from home net.
