Thumbs up Answer: Telenet nieuwsgroepen mededeling: nieuwsserver adres aanpassen/Attention: modification de l'adresse du serveur de newsgroup

Hello!

It looks like Telenet has migrated its newsgroup servers, which means that users will need to update their newsreader settings in order to continue using the Telenet newsgroup service.

To do this, you will need to change the address of the news server from either news.telenet.be or newsbin.telenet.be to newsgroups.telenet.be. Additionally, you will need to disable authentication on this news server.

If you're not sure how to update your newsreader settings, you may want to consult the documentation or help files for your specific newsreader software.
  1. Open your newsreader software.
  2. Locate the settings or options menu.
  3. Find the news server settings.
  4. Change the news server address to newsgroups.telenet.be.
  5. Disable authentication on the news server.

Note: If you are using
PHP Code:
macro or Visual Basic code 
to access the Telenet newsgroup service, you will also need to update your code to reflect the new server address and authentication settings.
