Hello---I'm trying to connect to my (IE6 OE) newsgroup server via my
ISP (which is Ev1.net), but I get the following error:
   "An unknown response was received in response to a request for
information from the news server "news.ev1.net', & then under
"details" I get this: "502 no permission for...(my I.P. address
here)...."& then in parentheses it says"blocked by realm Cowtown". WTF
is "realm Cowtown"??? I've called my ISP & my Dell software support, &
they have no idea what "realm Cowtown" is, but Dell did say that after
I update my a/v & spyware databases on my pc & run those, & check in
registry for "Cowtown", & last resort, to run System Restore to when
this didn't happen (yesterday), I could ask my ISP to assign me a new
ISP addy. Any info on "Cowtown", anyone? Thanx a bunch!

drop me a line at NOSPAM_rastapasta @ ev1.net_NOSPAM
(If you're wondering, I'm using Google Groups to send this)

Nevermind!!! I just updated my spyware definitions for AD-Aware, & got it
off (whatever it was, I forget--just glad it found it).Whatever it was, it
was blocking my IP addy. Phucker.
