I've no experience on configuring a news server, but perhaps it would help if you could share your existing config that you believe works. Perhaps your client is on a network that forbids direct access to port NNTP. If your client is on a different network than the one you are serving off of, perhaps port NNTP is being blocked or otherwise filtered. ${networks} sometimes filter/rate limit/block outright ports that they *claim* to be overloading their network [0], but no proof has yet been supplied. Some ${networks} say that specific ports/protocols that may be used for illegal file sharing are to blame. [1]. Start by stating the *exact* error message your client is getting... if you can extract such a thing from (him|her), then provide anything you can find in your NNTP server logfile(s).
