Servers Help
« on: August 26, 2007, 01:50:22 am »
hi i just installed altbinz and im new to usenet and all this stuff.
I installed the program correctly and i used the usnetfreak guide that some of you guys posted. I followed every step, but it seems i cant connect to anything.I think i configurated wrong cuz i have no idea what the server address is (im using newzleech). As the guide said, in the server properties in the setup. I typed MyServer in teh server name but in the address the guide said that the address usually starts with news. I had no idea wat it meant so i typed news.newzleech.com and i put 5 connections. Did i do somthing wrong cuz im a noob at this . ( btw im running on vista but im logged in the admin. I hope i explained well and i hope u guys can help me.
thx

You need valid news server. Either find some free one, pay for premium usenet access or open trial account on www.hlned.com or www.hitnews.eu

If it's your inet service provider, try without user/pass. It means that server doesn't let you authenticate.
