Hrm, Microsoft NNTP service I see.

For those of you that are struggling, from a cmd.exe window run
'telnet 121.208.41.84 119'
You should see
200 NNTP Service 6.0.3790.0 Version: 6.0.3790.0 Posting Allowed

Type 'list'
to see all 5 newsgroups there.
Type 'quit' to quit

If you don't see that, either your ISP or your misguided network security
software is blocking you. If you can tell the difference and it's your
ISP, it's time to find a new ISP or spend hours on their phone with their
support concerning blocking access to service.

As for fighting your news software... I gave up on GUI newsreaders
back when Gopher was the hot new thing. If anyone feels like abusing
theirselves running 'slrn' under cygwin, or natively on OSX or some
other Linux, email me.

Yours Sincerely
