I am running a Dell laptop with XP on a network connected
to a Server running Small Business Server 2000.
The network runs OK and the broadband internet connection
is fine and I can send and collect emails in Outlook.

The problem is that I cannot set up a newsgroup
connection to our ISP. It works OK on the server itself
but not on my workstation. Any attempt to connect
shows "The TCP/IP connection was unexpectedly terminated
by the server" followed by:
Configuration:
Account: news.easynet.co.uk
Server: news.easynet.co.uk
Protocol: NNTP
Port: 119
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 800ccc0f

I have tried pinging the news server and it works ok.
Any ideas please?
Chris.
 
Do you have the built-in firewall running. I turned mine
off and my network started working. With it on, I could
go online and send and receive e-mail, but the other pcs
on the network were not available.

Hope this helps

Karl
