My new config for nntpcache.servers is identical to the one on my old nntpcache installation. I've been over the files a dozen times and everything is the same. What's even worse - nntpcached is not connecting to my upline. I can not connect to any upline newserver, nor can I telnet to any localhost:port. I swear all I did was compile nntpcached-2.3.3 and do a make install... This is driving me nuts... -- Cheers, Phillip Get paid to surf the web.
