Trace news postings

[Ron]

Is there a way to trace the route that a posting to newsgroups takes from my
computer to a destination news server? I am having a problem with one
particular moderated newsgroup where my postings are not reaching the
moderators and are simply disappearing.

From the Command Prompt, type

tracert www.microsoft.com

substitute the address of the newsgroup for the URL and hit Enter.

I can use tracert to trace www sites but am unable to use it for newsgroups.
I might try the server address for the newsgroup if I can find it.

Thanks.

I don't think tracert is going to be useful for Usenet posts. Since you
are only having difficulties with one group, look on their FAQ website
for contact information and see if you can contact the moderators
directly. Most newsgroups post their FAQ regularly, but you can also
look here:

Thanks. I have already been in contact with them but they don't know why my
posts are not being received by them.
