OE6 Cannot access news server. Mail OK. Error message - Configuration:
Account: news.ntlworld.com
Server: news.ntlworld.com
Protocol: NNTP
Port: 119
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 800ccc0e
Removed news settings and and reset - no change. Disabled Zonealarm and Norton mail - no change. Suggestions welcomed
 
Have you disabled Windos Firewall aswell, Maybe thats what not letting you connect to this news group..
 
Thxs for suggestions. No router and windows firewall is always disabled. When I reported loss to ntl support last Thurs I was told the server was down - try again tomorrow but it hasn't worked since.

NTL does it again. Indian support insisted server OK. I inisisted that he rechecks, he says he must consult his level2 supervisor. Answer - the news server address has changed to news.virginmedia.com. Now all OK. I suppose the next thing to change without warning will be email address!!
