My problem is worse than I thought, although I can live with it. I can not access any Japanese groups, which doesn't break my heart because I can't read Japanese anyway. On the european front, I can't access the announce section, the mac problems section, or the profile section. No biggie, I just wish I knew why. On the SCEA side, I still can't access the freetalk group. I now find I also cannot get into the event group or the programming libraries group. Are any of you having any problems like this? I even tried uninstalling my browser, cleaning up my registries, and reinstalling my browser. How could I be the only one who can't access a bunch of groups? I even tried using a different version of Netscape (2.02.01a) just for the heck of it, no difference. Why would the Sony server tell just me that the group does not exist? No jokes about New Jersey please. I have to still wonder that Bell Atlantic is in some way my problem. I really want to access the freetalk group, this seems to be the most active group, and being able to access the programming libraries group seems like it would be very important in the future. How unfortunate that the staff has gone on vacation. Oh well, I know my dilemna has been noted by some, perhaps someone will offer me a solution. If not Bell Atlantic, is it possible that my browser is sending a message that the Yaroze server is misinterpreting? Sometimes when I edit my website, if the Sony server makes my computer wait too long for a reply, my browser sends a message that the Sony server cannot understand (I get a message from the server saying my browser sent a message it could not understand). Could it be the internet protocol used by Bell Atlantic? Help... Matt
