I can't connect to my ISP's news server, either with Mozilla
or with PAN. This is what the log in PAN shows:
 
News server connection count: 0
Mon, 09 Jun 2003 01:55:15 - Connection to news.videotron.ca, port 119 failed: 
Connection refused
Mon, 09 Jun 2003 01:55:15 - Error: reading from socket returned -1.  Bad file 
descriptor
Mon, 09 Jun 2003 01:55:15 - NNTP handshake failed: Error reading from socket.
Mon, 09 Jun 2003 01:55:15 - Handshake failed: Error reading from socket.
Mon, 09 Jun 2003 01:55:15 - NNTP handshake failed: Error reading from socket.
Mon, 09 Jun 2003 01:55:15 - Connect Failure

(Kindly pardon my ignorance...)
What does "error reading from socket" mean? ... and why am I now suddenly
getting this problem? I *did* check with Google to try and educate myself,
but I couldn't find a clear explanation. My search results just turned
up the same question being asked here and there....
