Can you connect to newsgroups with Satdrive? If so what program do you use to do it, or what newsgroup.

I ask because i can connect to news.tesco.net with my isp (yes i use tesco as an isp heh) but when i try with Satdrive it wont connect. Im using Newsbin Pro atm and it says it supports socks4/5 which ive configured in the firewall section but it still doesnt work. Not sure if its because news.tesco.net wont let it connect or if Satdrive is at fault.

If anyone can clarify id be most greatfull :]
 
It could well be because the Tesco newsgroups are IP restricted to their range. As soon as you go thru the Satdrive proxy, you'll be out of their IP range and it might well block you. To them, it will appear as though you're connecting from Satdrive, not Tesco.

I think you'll need to use a generic newsgroup service like news2me or something which allows any ISP connection.

For newsgroups you will have to pay for a service, you can't use your free/flat rate ISPs one. So top 4 would be <a href="http://www.Easynews.com" target="_blank">www.Easynews.com,</a> <a href="http://www.News2Me.com" target="_blank">www.News2Me.com,</a> <a href="http://www.Claranews.com" target="_blank">www.Claranews.com</a>, and <a href="http://www.teranews.com" target="_blank">www.teranews.com</a>

Yeh, tho there are some free ones out there which ive tried (which work on my ISDN) but not on my Sat connect.

Anyway, news2me.com will do for now.
