That's more or less what I told her to tell her university computer people, especially the DNS. They say they can't find the problem. Then there is the sometimes connection refused problem, which I mentioned in my follow posting, to which I suggested perhaps her system was giving up too quickly, not making enough conncection attempts, or not spacing them out enough. Is that a likely possibility? I also suggested she try some time other than 8am (10 am Buffalo time) every time. Anyway, with one or the other she has not been able to post to the list for weeks.
