Glad you got it sorted out Dan. This was also the first thing that occured to me, but I misread the symptoms as you described them. Therefore I neglected to mention it since in the context it seemed irrelevant. I thought: Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused but you meant: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to foo.bar.com Escape character is '^]'. 502 foo.bar.com NNTP server can't talk to you. Goodbye. Connection closed by foreign host. The connection was accepted but the service was denied access. The best descriptions are both concise and detailed, and get the best results. -- Adam David <adam@veda.is>
