Problem with Cox News Server
I've never experienced this before, but when I try to access the Cox
news server, news.west.cox.net, I get the following message: 502 Maximum number of connections reached. (Tornado v1.0.7.392) The imbecile at Cox support at first did not even know what I was referring to when I mentioned "news server". After some behind the scenes debate, he came back on line and told me, "I guess there are too many users trying to access it right now". Funny thing about this was that I already had a connection established and was reading rfc when it stopped responding and the message appeared. Oh well! See ya later, I guess... Wayne |

Same response on all of them. :-( Thanks for the suggestion, though. |

I normally use Xnews, which is not a browser but a newsreader client. I have just tried powering down my computer, cable modem, and router, the reconnecting the modem, then router, then computer. Still the same message for the cox news server. I can access the Microsoft news server with no problem, so I'm fairly well convinced that cox is having news server problems, not me. Wayne |

I've done everything possible on my end. Now it's up to Cox, and they don't admit to having a problem. :-) Hopefully it will be cleared up by tomorrow. I have looked at their newsgroup discussion group several times last week and noticed a good many posts relating to exactly this problem, mostly in California. It's just that I had never esperienced it myself before. Well, maybe tomorrow, eh? Cheers! Wayne |

> wrote in message ps.com... > The imbecile at Cox support > > Wayne > You can pretty much distill just about any conversation about Cox down to that. I had Cox for a whole two months after we moved. I had an email problem. I went beyond tier 2 support and the final word about my problem was "use yahoo." Uhhh, no. I'll be damned if I'll pay Cox 35 bucks a month and have to use Yahoo for my email. Now I have wireless broadband from a small local company. If I call and tell them email is ****ing up they just fix it. I very rarely have a problem though. Since they're a pretty small company they don't carry newsgroups. It's still worth it. Ms P |

As far as I know, there is no such setting in Xnews; however, the problem I had last night and this morning was clearly a problem with their server. >> OTOH, I cannot read ngs on the road from my laptop. > > Newsgroup access costs money.

For example, the cable system here started out as Dimension Cable and then Cox bought the whole kit and kaboodle. Spent a lot of money upgrading and things of that nature. Watched the @home thing go belly up then they had to scramble to roll out their own service which was fraught with problems. The latest is the speed upgrade they did in Rhode Island. They had to replace all the amplifiers and they contracted with a company that didn't do the job to specidification. For example, amplifiers have automatic temperature control since RF devices like nice, warm and stable temperatures. There are also things called l-pads that control signal gain. If the signal is too high/hot most cable modems complain loudly. It turns out the contractor didn't install either option. Curiously enough we used Cox for two VAN (Virtual Arean Network) circuits. One of the circuits gave us nothing but problems. It turns out the amplifiers in the street had been upgraded but the l-pads and temp control weren't turned on. When we moved about a half mile away the service was great until the first temperature drop below 50F. All of a sudden nothing worked. I called Cox and explained to the drone that I knew exactly what the problem was, and could they please get the tier-2 guys out to fix it. A couple hours later I notice one of the Cox bucket trucks down the street. I went down and it's one of the guys I know. He ws griping about having to spend all his time fixing the contractor screw-ups. |

In our case we had only two choices in the neighborhood we moved to. It was either Qwest with DSL for Internet, or Cox. This appears to be true for most areas of Phoenix and the burbs, although there are some other DSL choices. In our old neighborhood, DSL through Qwest was our only option. The speed (due primarily to distance from the CO, which would have been true at the new location as well) was really lousy, as was their service and unpredictability and outages. In general, people we knew who had Cox had always been pretty satisfied. I've never had reason to become too technically involved with any of these folks, although I do work in the network area of an IT department and do have some knowledge and skills that might be applicable. Generally their equipment seems to be up to snuff and we've generally been very pleased. We've had only one outage since December and it resolved in less than two hours. It was caused by a traffic accident. -- Wayne Boatwright (to e-mail me direct, replace cox dot net with gmail dot com) __________________________________________________ ____________ OK, I'm weird !

I guess I can expect more problems in the future. :-( Well, hang onto your hair, b/c if there's one thing you can count on with Cox, it's that you can't count on them. We have gone through 5 or 6 DVR/receivers, which always results in losing all our DVR'd programs, of course. On the 4th or 5th one, the tech I was talking to on the phone said, "Atlanta is aware of the problem" with the DVRs (I inferred from that that the corporate headquarters are in Atlanta), like Atlanta's *awareness* was going to make me a happy customer. We finally got a "supervisor level" repairman to come out who said the machines were cr*p. My experience with the high speed cable isn't anything to write home about, either. When the DSL is out, I just *love* going through their telephone menu hell and run into a robotic voice telling me that I'll get faster service if I visit their website at...I feel like throwing the phone through the wall. If I could get connected to the Internet, I wouldn't be bloody calling!

No problem there. Our Internet is digital cable, not DSL. Are you sure yours is DSL through Cox? I do have to agree that the few contacts I've had with their support staff have been less than dazzling. :-) -- Wayne Boatwright (to e-mail me direct, replace cox dot net with gmail dot com) __________________________________________________ ____________ OK, I'm weird !

Comcast, too -- at least here in the Bay Area. Google around for "public DNS servers" and put a few in your search list. On a Mac, you'll find the table in System Preferences/Network under TCP/IP.

I suppose it is possible to have both DSL and cable, but that's a lot of money. |

More to the point, however, I was unaware that Cox provided DSL service. I was under the impression that their services were all delivered via digital cable. Our Cox digital cable service includes television, phone, and high speed Internet. I suppose it may differ from region to region. -- Wayne Boatwright (to e-mail me direct, replace cox dot net with gmail dot com) __________________________________________________ ____________ OK, I'm weird !

Start/Control Panel/Network Connections Right click on your network and select Properties Under "This connection uses the following items:" scroll down to Internet Protocl (TCP/IP) and click on it. Then click the Properties button. In the property sheet, click on the Advanced button and then click on the DNS tab. You can add DNS servers there. BTW, this work around won't really help with Cox email or newsgroups since they maintain their own internal zone for DNS. |
