GRC: News Server Machine Name and IP changing

Quote from Steve Gibson:

If you have been using "grc.com" for your news server
***machine name, you should change it to "news.grc.com".

If you have been using the relatively static IP [204.1.226.226]
you should change it to the new news server IP [204.1.226.254].

The IP resolution for "news.grc.com" is currently
"204.1.226.226" (the same as for grc.com), but I have started a
DNS change propagating, which will eventually change the IP to
the server's new address of [204.1.226.254].

Just to add a little to the previous posting:

Posting at GRC can only be done via a "newsreader".
Reading at GRC can be done in 2 ways: either by newsreader or via the web-based interface.

If you only want to read there via the web-based interface and you had already saved some links to the GRC-forums in your favorites-list, you might need to renew the urls for those links.
The server for the web-based interface is now:
news.grc.com

For example the link for the read-only forum "grc.news" (where only Steve can post) is now:
http://news.grc.com/news.exe?cmd=xover&group=grc.news

If you want to have the links for the other GRC-forums, simply scroll at that site to the bottom.
You will see there the Newsgroups mentioned.
Click on such a link and you will get to that forum and get its url.


Note for Paul:

Hi Paul,
If you have the time, you might like to change in the next update all the links to the Steve Gibson Forums at this Wilders-org site:
http://www.wilders.org/misc.htm

I will give you those links (or maybe better: post them here later).

Cheers, Jan.
