I downloaded AVG Internet Security with the Firewall and I can't connect to Alt.Binz 397. It will try all 10 servers and it won't connect to any of them.
When I started Alt.Binz for the first time I got a popup from AVG Firewall saying if I wanted to allow Alt.Binz - Usenet progy. I allowed it for all networks, that didn't work. I tried disabling AVG firewall and that didn't work. Here's a screen shot from AVG defined networks -

Any idea what is going on? or is the servers having problems?
