Connection issues to mweb news servers

[Xenusb]

Hi, im having trouble for the last two days with the Mweb news server and Altbinz. Everything is set up to connect to both the news.mweb.co.za and 196.28.78.229 news server. Altbinz tries to connect but keeps displaying the following error code "StatusCode: 0" in the log file.

Nothing gets downloaded.The connection reconnect everytime, and sumtimes connects for just a second or two.

The full error i receive is:

I can download perfectly using a usenet server, but not from the mweb news servers?

Left my router of the whole day figured that this could be the problem. Booted it back up at five but still the same disconnection problems to the news server.

Can’t get a constant connection to the server.

Any advice on how to fix this please???

I think you've just answered your own question.

Make sure you use news.mweb.co.za and not a specific IP as the IP does change now and then.
