I got my webhost to open port 119 for outgoing but my posts still aren't propagating to usenet. I logged in to my host via telnet and went to news.giganews.com on port 119. I was able to read posts *and* submit posts to usenet without any problems. Doesn't that mean that port 119 is open for outgoing traffic and I should be able to post from my forum???

I would like to try something else. Could I connect to giganews.com from another port, such as port 80 and post and read messages? if I wanted to do that, where would I find the 119 in the script and change it? I checked nntp.php and gateway.php and saw one instance of port 119 in each, would that be all that is required to connect via port 80 instead of 119?
