We have received notification from our newsgroup provider (see below) that they are in the process of changing IP addresses. If you have had trouble accessing the F1NGers newsgroup over the last couple of days this will be why.
It should have sorted itself by now, but if you are having problems make sure your settings are as described below.

Happy New Year!

Message from Don at Zeppole:

Hello Folks,

We will begin changing IP addresses today.

As our Host DNS servers require time to propagate
new addresses throughout the Internet, some of you
may have difficulty logging on for a period of time,
usually no more than 24 to 48 hours. Others may
find that they will be able to renew their connections
to news.zeppole.com or news2.zeppole.com within a
matter of hours.

In the SERVER NAME field of you client software, if you do not
use the correct URL,’NEWS.ZEPPOLE.COM’ or ‘NEWS2.ZEPPOLE.COM’,
and instead use IP address’s, or the incorrect url ‘ZEPPOLE.COM’,
when changes are made at the DNS servers at the Zeppole’s host,
you will experience connection difficulties.

Those of you using your own Domain Name, make sure you use
the correct URL also, (NEWS.YourDomainName), (NEWS2.YourDomainName).

Using either of the two correct URL’s is always recommended.
