Err ... local host name????? (I did enter into the newsclients I tried out "localhost", or "127.0.0.1", Port (if requested) 119. With external newsservers like "news.cis.dfn.de" (user/password), they do work). I've set up localhost. Loop device is running. I see it when I enter"ifconfig". I never understood what the 168.xxx.xxx.xx references meant. Please excuse my missing knowledge. Is there anything I should study and set up? If you have some hints what I should read, before I come back with further foolish questions, please do not hesitate to shove me on the way;-).
