>We use Winproxy, so I don't have any experience with Wingate. However, in Winproxy, when setting the properties (may be configuration in Wingate) there is a place to set up the firewall protocols. In this area, I can go to the News Setup, and set the News Server IP to our News Server (i.e. news.netscape.net) Then make sure you have a News Proxy Port entered (normally 119) for all of your workstations to point to. This enables any workstation on your network to access the News Server via the server IP.

Got it connecting. Now I need to know how to keep it from disconnecting immediately. Any ideas?

Thanks,
