pan news reader

[threadhead]

heyho
i configured my pan news reader in the following way:

account name: news.newusers.questions
server settings:
server name: news.newusers.questions
port: 119

---

when i rightclick on the name and then subscribe it tells me that i cannot connect to the server.

may be that because the server is down or because i have configured something wrong?

thanks

news.newusers.questions is a usenet group, not a server. Most ISPs would give you a server to access. If not there's always http://news.cis.dfn.de/ or some random free server to try.
