Hi, downloaded Usenet and got a free trial account ... now am getting "connection failed? please make sure you connected to the internet. if you are using firewall please unblock port 119 and 443" when i try to login. My firewall is off .. any ideas Infact, it says Newsserver temporarily not available (or network problem). Please try again later... this now for 2 days

Try Astraweb. Dunno if they have a free trial, but their $11 a month unlimited plan is killer!
