Afrihost news server settings

[Slenderman]

I'm probably in the wrong forum here. :erm:

I'm having problems connecting to Afrihost news server.

I've tried:
news.afrihost.co.za
port 119

I've tried with my ADSL username and password, and without, but the connection keeps on timing out.
I've been chatting with support for the last few days, and tried everything they suggested.

I have used a paid news server, and that works perfectly.

Any ideas?

Isnt afrihost on the MTN network?

try news.internet.co.za:119 with no username or password.

Thank you for the info.

It seems to work, but I went with nextgennews anyway.

How is the news service on Afrihost with MTN and are these settings still correct?

Works 100%, I would recommend getting an account with XSUsenet as well
