| I typically have been receiving 'connection timed out' messages. I suspect that the timeout messages are due to file size/duration of connection.
Trace isn't horrible,

We confirmed with the third party news provider that it is setup for 2 connections. We have not been able to replicate the issue. If you attempt to authenticate with a third connection you are not able to. As long as your program does a clean disconnect you should be able to re-authenticate. If your program does not do a clean disconnect you would have to wait until the session is dropped. I believe it takes 15 minutes for the session to drop.

| It does not work!
I talked with another tech support this morning, and he also had the same problem. So it is replicable. He asked me to wait until tomorrow night: 48 hours, since it is still being worked on. I told him the 24-48 hour period is for DNS propagation. This is an authentication problem.

| I cannot be authenticated at all. It kept saying "502 Too Many Connections (2 allowed)".
I shut everything down last night. Turn back on this morning and still have the same problem. I uninstalled and re-installed, still same problem.

Yes, username@dslextreme.com!
I have been using the news server for more than 2 years. Also, it worked yesterday's morning when the new news server was switched over. Then, it stopped working about yesterday's afternoon.

If I telnet directly to port 119, I get through.

So, it is not an authentication problem. It is a misconfiguration somewhere!
