I have microsoft news and grc on my oe and it worksfine. I called verizon 3 times now and they tell me it's my problem my avg or my zone alarm. I removed both from my machine and still can't get my verizon news groups. any body else have this problem? can any one help me with this. thanks, bill "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.
