Another newbie question.

[Nic von Waltsleben]

Hi

I've just installed INN 2.3.2 on a FreeBSD 4.4 Stable server. The server
is not configured for feeds as its going to be a stand alone server for
clients to connect to and post messages for support purposes. The server
has one nic with on bound IP address. When I try and connect to it with
Outlook Express 6 I get disconnected in under a second.  I'm not sure
whether this is a problem with INND or NNRPD or maybe there is just
something wrong with the server??? =20

I have read the install notes, and the manpages for inn.conf, nnrpd and
readers.conf
My config files and the error messages are as follows:...    Does anyone
have any ideas???

I've done what I thought was the bare minimum to get this working just
so I could test connectivity but apparenty somethings wrong. =20

Outlook gives me the following error
"The TCP/IP connection was unexpectedly terminated by the server."

My news.notice log contains the following
