Mark,
Can you connect to their NNTP servers with a computer connected directly to
their network? Im not sure this problem is any fault of ours anymore. May
be a @home misconfiguration, which I hope it is not. Trying to explain this
to a level one tech and then getting passed to a level two tech who won't
believe you for the first 20 min. does not sound like a call I would want to
make today.

I saw this same problem this weekend. At first I thought
it was a new firewall that I put up, but discounted that
after I was able to connect to public NNTP servers successfully.

I did this and I can ping both news and mail. The reason why I even asked
this question is because suddenly could not connect to @home's news servers
and believed this was somehow related. I can now ping news and of course
news.phnx3.az.home.com successfully but when I setup a NNTP connection in
windows or linux I recieve the error "502 Wrong server, set your server name
to: news (Twister v1.2.0)
Configuration:
Account: news
Server: news
Protocol: NNTP
Port: 119
Secure(SSL): 0
Error Number: 502
Code: 800ccca0"
Any Ideas?

In the Setup for the Linksys Router, be sure that the Domain Name field
contains
your @Home Domain name and not just "@home". This is passed on to the search
line
in /etc/resolv.conf on my box (Mandrake8.1 with kernel updated to 2.5.0).
This allows ping mail and ping news.
