NNTP does not make use of hostnames directly. You are only using IP addresses in access.conf, so only this needs to be correct. In either case, it will apply only to the remote end, and not your own reverse lookup/hostnames. The exception is if they are doing a reverse lookup before sending to you, but that would be highly unusual. > dns_check true > nodns true > > Of course I was thinking this settings are for accounts to connect my > server. > But I donn't now if this setting are also for feeds ?? Yes, these also apply to incoming feeds, and you don't need to do dns lookups as you are using IP addresses in access.conf. > > One thing you should check to see is if a connection is being established > to > > your system (in dnews.log), but timeouts occuring when messages are sent. > > That is a common problem (Although not so common with news systems), and > > would indicate an MSS/MTU issue.

Does it log timeouts? An MTU issue caused by ICMP packets being dropped by over-protective firewalls between your system and the remote server would not be logged as an MTU error. > > There is of course the possibility they aren't sending you news at all, > but > > your providers should be able to tell you what is happening from their > end. > > I get livefeed from 2 big Dutch-ISP's whit more then 700.000 accounts/ISP > and 2 smaller ISP's. > I hope they will now what they are doing......;o))) > This error was comingup after 7 weeks shutdown....changing ISP....only in > Holland is this possible ;o( > The feeds have working before the shutdown perfect and the newsgroups aren't > changing in this time. > > But, it's working now, only it is a strang way todo it. > > Last qeustion......if I set a new dfeed / ihave, how dnews get the groups > from the dfeed / ihave ? > A _getgroups_ 1 will only get groups from a nttp_suck / nttp_feeder (?) and > I don't have a nttp_suck / feeder. You can usually get away with doing this - tellnews getgroups server.example.com (I.e. just use the server name in place of the feed number) The correct way is to get the active file, see http://www.netwinsite.com/dnews/feedsin.htm#3 Alternatively you can configure DNews to automatically create new groups it sees, but this isn't recommended. - Roydon L. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... > "Netwin Support" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schreef in bericht > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > This is really starting to sound like a firewall or other networking > issue. > > Two of the feeds are working, so some of the ihave feeds are getting > > through. > > Is it possible the remote IPs have changed, or that there is a routing > issue > > causing these sites not to be able to send in? > > I don't have a firewall and the router routes port 119 to the server without > any restictions. > I don't have IP / domain-blocks on the system and the IP's are not changed. > And if they have changed the IP's, the domainnames must working. > I have try both, IP's and names. > > > Unfortunately it looks like you will need to contact the feed providers to > > see if they can find any information from their logs.
