and still can't get my verizon news groups. any body else have this
problem? can any one help me with this.

"telnet news.verizon.net 119" results in a timeout. Their server is not
responding on that port. You didn't mention using a non-standard port.
I'm not on the Verizon network when doing the telnet test; however, if
they reject external connects to their server then I shouldn't get a
timeout and instead an immediate connect rejection. Do the telnet test
yourself while on their network.
