Steve Barile (of PNLTC) sent this via e-mail and in another message said it
was OK to post here.  I wonder why some people can connect from behind
firewalls and some can't...

I am using MS Outlook from behind the Intel Firewall
I tried to get to the LUGNET news server and got this error:
A dialog box pops up and says "Downloading Newsgroups from lugnet.com"
Then I get a "The connection to the server has failed" dialog box.

The details:

Server Response:
Configuration:
   Account: lugnet.com
   Server: lugnet.com
   Port: 119
   Secure(SSL): 0

Got any ideas?
