Re: Cannot connect to Corel server from Outlook Express

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Found this post from 2003...

********
I installed ZoneAlarm Pro firewall software on my Intel P4 PC running
Windows XP. Everything on the Internet seems to work except the Corel
Newsgroups. I get error message saying "cnews.corel.com server not found".
When I shut off the firewall software, the newsgroups work just fine.

You stated that you did not think it was a firewall problem. So my obvious
question is "Have you tried turning off the firewall to confirm this?"
