I'm trying to access a news server on the net outside the firewall and am really not sure how to go about it. Has anyone tried doing this either with INN or some similar program pulling a feed through the firewall, or with NN or some similar program using the news server through the firewall's proxy server ? If you have any suggestions, I'd be grateful to hear them. Rohan.
