Guys
so I follow the instructions to connect to news.plus.net (port 119, no user/pwd, no ssl) to get my news started.
Try to 'Refresh Grouplist'. Nope - 'Communication error'.
Try with my account and password. Nope - '481 Acess Denied...'.
With / without SSL.. no go.
Any hints please?
AndyF.

Well it works fine with newsleecher, although very slow! (Are you a Plusnet customer?)

Can you post your IP address (mask the last part). It may be that you are on a new IP range that hasn't been added to the ranges allowed to access the server.

Can you confirm that you are trying to access the Plusnet news server when connected via a Plusnet connection - because if you are not it won't work.

Well that was my thought jelv. He only posted once, so I reckon he is not a Plusnet customer. We'll see if he responds to our observations.

To sign up to this forum you need to be a Plusnet customer. It may be that he's just on a non-Plusnet connection at the moment though.

Morning Guys
thanks for the feedback. Yes I am a PlusNet customer.
Trying to connect from work, definitely not a PlusNet connection.
Our provider is York Data Services so I guess I would appear behind 188.65.97.xxx?
Thanks
AndyF.
ps recommend any news reader (preferably non-chargeable...)?

You cannot access the Plusnet news server from work, only from your home connection. Access is restricted to Plusnet IPs.
