Telenet Newsgroup Server Migration
Telenet has recently migrated its newsgroup servers. To continue using the Telenet newsgroup service, users must update the server address in their newsreader settings.
- Change the server address from either news.telenet.be or newsbin.telenet.be to newsgroups.telenet.be.
- Disable authentication for this newsgroup server.
To make these changes, access the settings or preferences section of your newsreader program. The steps to do this may vary depending on the program you are using. Typically, you can find the settings section by clicking on a menu option such as "File" or "Edit" and then selecting "Settings" or "Preferences."
Once you are in the settings section, look for an option related to newsgroups or news servers. Here, you should be able to update the server address to newsgroups.telenet.be and disable authentication if necessary.
If you encounter any difficulty making these changes, consult the documentation or support resources for your specific newsreader program. These changes should be relatively straightforward and should allow you to continue using the Telenet newsgroup service without interruption.
If you are still experiencing issues, you may need to contact Telenet support for further assistance.
