Ok
Before you say it I am at work typing this and not at home, as my home
connection I cannot seem to retrieve any newsgroup headers (or groups!)
I have subscribed to 2 news servers to see if this is a news server issue
(this microsoft one and news.tiscali.co.uk - my servers news groups) and It
will not allow me to download news
headers - it simply connects and thats it - no headers, nada
I have opened News ports 119 on my Netgear Wireless Router and in my mcafee
total protection 2007 firewall
I have altered my DNS to 2 Ip's which my ISP told me about to see if this
fixes the problem and still no luck
All I want to do is download some newsgroups - The system Connects /
Authorises and then nothing...
I have tried to use a different newsreader and still the same problem
(albeit Outlook express being my favourite)
I am running
Mcafee total protection 2007 (Which I have uninstalled until I fix the
problem)
I have opened all ports on my netgear firewall (I Know I know, but I am
trying to resolve the issue bit by bit!)
Microsoft Media Centre and all Service packs applied... and security patches
Are there some settings I am missing from somewhere? Do I need to
disable/enable
anything?
Any help greatly appreciated as this is driving me nuts!
