ok I have my news server that I'm paying for: news.tigerusenet.com
I have a username and password for it.
I setup the forum and the nntp settings
I've uploaded the files but when I run the debug, I get the msg:
Quote:
Gateway version 2.3.2 1 group(s) gatewayed.
Could not connect to NNTP-server. (Permission denied (13))
Not connected
Not connected

Now i thought that this might be because my hosting company is blocking the ports.
I spoke to them and they wanted the ip and port so that they can open it up.
Now I'm guessing that the IP is what news.tigerusenet.com translates to (66.250.146.196). Is this correct?
Then I told them port 119, and they said that they cannot open this up on shared hosting plans...
Can anyone help me get this up and running?
All I'm after is to be able to fill my forum up a little more with posts. So I don't even need forum members to be able to post to usenet.
It's so frustrating.
Please help
