    Hi everyone, Sorry to post to multiple groups, I am well aware it is
    bad etiquette, but, since my transfer to full fibre I am having
    trouble posting to Usenet and I am trying to find out if it it is
    universal or just certain groups affected.

    I would be astonished if it turned out to be group-specific.

    I transferred on Aug 25th (been away so not able to much since) Shortly
    after I made two posts.

    One to this group asking if anyone had a copy of the manual for !Serenade,
    the other to uk.religion.christian. The latter showed up on the group
    within a matter of minutes, the one to this group still hasn't appeared.

    I sent a further request regarding !serenade to this group about 15mins
    after I sent the message to which you have replied, and that still hasn't turned up either.

    I sent this message to several other acorn groups, hence the apology at
    it's start, but the only one to appear was this one

    Prior to the transfer everything was working fine

    !netsurf also appears not to be able to connect to any site, It just returns the error
    "Couldn't resolve host name"

    Can you ping the same sites from the command line?

    Sorry, being a bear of little brain, I'm not sure what this means or how
    to do it.

    Incidentally, I have been in touch with Richard Brown and he asked me to
    check my networking setup.

    This is the current status.

    the computer I use for the internet these days is a Raspberry Pi 4 (Riscos
    Bits "Fourtress") so has not been around that long.
    I have checked the internet configuration, and this is what I see:

    Routing:
    Gateway 192.168.0.1
    Act as IP router unticked
    Run RouteD unticked
    Routes file All lines begin with#


    Host name RISCOpi
    Local domain Blank
    Primary name server Blank
    Try name server to unticked
    Hosts file # in front of all lines except loopback 127.0.0.1 secondary name server Blank

    One dated 4th @19:45 was downloaded here at 21:04 on 4th.

    I do not see how changing to FTTP would affect usenet posting - it
    only needs a working internet connection.

    Yes, I've got it too. It most definitely went out to the group.

    Agreed.

    I offered help in an earlier post but received no
    acknowledgement. I assume that was due to the problem
    you've just outlined.

    I said:

    I can't provide you with a copy but it's possible that I
    can help if you get hold of one.

    Contact me on the email address I use in the Virtual Acorn
    list.

    This looks like a Resolver issue.

    I had to change my gateway which was the same as yours, to the access
    address of my new router (in my case 192.168.1.254) and the primary name
    server to the same address so the router supplies the DNS function. This
    should fix the resolver issue.

    I agree the blank Local Domain and Name Server look wrong ... but
    surely they should be blank (as they are here) if the interface
    Configure says get IP using DHCP, which should supply. What does the
    Interface Status show?

    Yes, my example is for a fixed address on a wired Network.
