cannot connect !!!
« on: March 01, 2008, 07:50:28 pm »
hi i've just changed my subscription plan with my newsgroup (demon), so i needed to update my settings ie different username and number of connection, ssl check box and ports ect....

after doing this, and trying every port demon sent me i cannot connect.

when i use the standard port 119 altbins just freezes and does not respond the rest just dont connect

anyone any ideas?

hi an update to my connection problem:-

i have managed to connect by unchecking the SSL box in server settings. will this mean my downlods wont be secure? as i have a premium SSL account ?

Did you press "Apply" after changing sever settings and did you reconnect?

did you try connecting with different newsreader? did it work? if it didn't work aswell it might be a provider related problem...

you can can connect without SSL right?

maybe SSL has a different server address

there seems to be a ssl server that caused some problems in the past, different sort but all the same... http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-newsgroups-79/t-newsdemon-gone-bob-274182
