The only firewall we have running is the ofice network firewall. All the
computers are the same build and have the same programs installed. Another
person on the same network can connect to the newsgroups but others cannot.
We have checked the firewall and i am in the same group as the person who can
connect to the newsgroups. It has me stumped.
