Problems with news server - Connection refused

Hi,
I was able to work with the LUGNET news server successfully a while ago. When
retring today with the same settings, it fails with "connection refused".

My environment is:
  - Mozilla news reader V1.6
  - Windows XP Pro SP1
  - ZoneAlarm firewall on the system
  - Behind a NAT router (DLINK router)
  - Not behind any other proxy or firewall

My settings for the LUGNET news server are:
  - Server: lugnet.com
  - Port: 119
  - No SSL

I recently became a lugnet member, but I do hope this does not have anything to
do with it.

I can work successfully with other news servers (e.g. using VPN into my
company). The Firewall does not show any suspicious log entries.

When I try to connect manually to port 119 of lugnet.com (using telnet), the
connection also gets refused after a while. I can ping lugnet.com, and the DNS
resolution also works ok.

Any help is much appreciated!
Andy

(...) A while back, the news server posrt was changed to 1119, because of some stupid hacker program that attacked port 119. Change your port to 1119 and all should work as before. HTH ROSCO (20 years ago, 4-May-05, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
