Check with your news provider to see if they have alternative ports |
| 37 |
open, or run a portscan with nmap. Otherwise consider using a |
| 38 |
different news provider. Many commercial providers allows access on |
| 39 |
other ports and SSL encrypted connections on port 563. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Also, if you have IPv6 connectivity, try finding a news host on IPv6. |
| 42 |
Sometimes a port is blocked on IPv4 but they forget to block it on |
| 43 |
IPv6. :) |
