Are you pointing to the right port? IIRC LUGNET does not use the default news
port.
From http://www.lugnet.com/news/ (IIRC, somewhat out of date since it still
refers to the default port):
". You might also want to try port 1119, 8000 or 8080 if you are unable to
access using the standard port 119."
...so try 1119. If you already did, or that fails, ask again or mail Todd or Suz
(not me, please).
Hope that helps.

| (...) Not really. I had already tried 1119. It appears when I change a setting (eg name), it will give me a connection-refused-type message until I switch to 1119, after which both 119 and 1119 will give me go-setup-type messages. --Jamie (19 years ago, 10-Jun-05, to lugnet.people.newbie)
