You should change your news server to news.west.earthlink.net or
news.east.earthlink.net. You will also have to instruct Hogwasher to
authenticate using your full EarthLink email address
(connah@earthlink.net) and the password for that account. If you have
more questions, go to <http://news.earthlink.net>.

The only adjustment you need to make is in the "Accounts" window, under the
"Setup" menu. Open the Account for the news server, then change the "News
server:" item from "news.earthlink.net" to either "news.east.earthlink.net"
or "news.west.earthlink.net" and then all should be well.

(I assume the choice of "east" or "west" should be based on the side of North
America to which you happen to be closer...)

Hope this helps!
