I'm having problems gaining access to a site. I'm taking online course
through my college. I can't get logged on to the college site. Does anyone
know how to get past this?

Contact the college and tell them exactly what is happening including
the exact error message.
They will be able to help you gain access.

Hi,

Use a newsreader, it's far easier than the web interface. An easy setup with
Windows Mail:

This isn't a "board", just a web interface to Usenet newsgroups and it
is awful. Most of the regular helpers (like me) never use the web
interface, so won't be able to give you tips about using it. Set up a
newsreader instead (very easy to do). Here is information to help you:

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you
learn to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows,
but you can use Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you
already have it. Here are some links to information about newsgroups:

Not from the lack of information in your post. You haven't told us
anything that might help us figure out what's going on.

Your first move should be to contact whoever administers that web
site, and tell them what's going wrong for you. Since that person will
know how the site is put together, and exactly what it's expecting, he
will be in the best position to help you out.

Enroll in a different college.
