Okay. I got the new version (thanks BMM), built and config'd it. When I try to connect to it, I get: --------------- 503 failing server rebuild in progress (22 groups complete, at least 2978 groups to go. Please try again later. Configuration: Account: news.ezwebtech.com Server: news.ezwebtech.com Protocol: NNTP Port: 119 Secure(SSL): 0 Error Number: 503 Code: 800ccca0 ---------------- My server lines are: ---------------- realuser:neenerneener@news4.usenetserver.com. DEFAULT 4h 24h 2d 30m 60d 60d %BeginGroups * news4.usenetserver.com. --------------- Does anybody have a direction I should look in first? I can connect to the remote news server just fine with a normal client. Thanks again, Derek
