Hi, I have the same problem as pgdm; just can't connect to my server at all.  The log reveals only this:

[21/12/2009 10:53:10] [Main] Alt.Binz 0.31.3 [06.12.2009] started.

[21/12/2009 10:54:16] [T2] Could not connect (SUPERKABEL.DE)   

Over and over and over...

I could have the wrong port setting (it was the default 119) but I don't know what else it could be.  Is there a way of finding out?

Hope you can help,

I'm using superkabel.de, which I think is the problem.  They're a commercial ISP and offer no usenet service, as far as I can tell.  Think I'm done for...   :'(

Plenty of premium usenet providers. Or go to www.xlned.com and apply for 7 day free trial to get the things going...
