Hello, Re/ nn, you can only do this by modifying the source: # fgrep 119 * nntp.c:#define IPPORT_NNTP 119 nntp.c.orig:#define IPPORT_NNTP 119 # fgrep IPPORT_NNTP nntp.c:#ifndef IPPORT_NNTP nntp.c:#define IPPORT_NNTP 119 nntp.c: sin.sin_port = htons(IPPORT_NNTP); nntp.c.orig:#ifndef IPPORT_NNTP nntp.c.orig:#define IPPORT_NNTP 119 nntp.c.orig: sin.sin_port = htons(IPPORT_NNTP); on the other hand, it seems that the port 563 of the above server does not offer NNTP, check with telnet.
