Dan, could you shed some light on this?

FWIW, I too am having problems connecting to the NNTP server.  It does
connect, eventually, but takes about a minute or two.  My guess is that
it's trying to do an auth request to my machine, but my firewall is
blocking the request, causing the server to time out.  Just curious -
are you behind a firewall?

It's not really a LUGNET problem because when I try to connect from
servers outside a firewall, the connection is very fast.  I agree that
pair must have changed _something_ a week ago, but that change just shed
light on an external problem.

HI: (...) I as well, have been having a hard time reading Lugnet newsgroups. From my end nothing else has changed. I can connect to other news servers.
