This one is driving me nuts. It is NOT a problem confined to Entourage
but Entourage shares the behavior. I can log on to THIS server but not onto
the server used by my ISP for general Usenet.
I have Entourage and MT Newsreader both configured correctly to receive the
news via my ISP's news server, which for now is via a dialup (PPP)
connection. When I try to download the list of groups or in the case of MT-N
get server or do anything that involves interaction with my news server, it
just sits there, saying "Connecting to Server" until it gives up and says
that a connection failure occurred.
This occurs on OS X.2.6, it does not occur on OS 9.2. The exact same
configuration is used on 9.2 so I know that my config is correctly set for
OS X as well.
I have not had a firewall active but I just activated the Mac's internal
firewall and activated the news port 119, but no joy. Something is keeping
my Mac from speaking Usenet properly, though as you can see it does just
fine with this here Microsoft server. Ideas?
TIA,
