I use Agent and apn and things are working fine on this computer but
when I try the laptop (even though I have double checked tools/options
etc are the same) it waits what seems like forever and then comes up
with No response from server.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Some suggestions...

 1.  I trust you have also checked that Tools >> Account Settings
     are the same.

 2.  Check that you can ping APN from the laptop, as well as from
     this computer.

     In a Command Prompt window. type the command:
         ping news.forteinc.com

 3.  Check that the firewall on the laptop is configured to trust/allow
     Agent to access the Internet. Actual instructions will depend on
     the firewall.

 4.  Is the laptop using the same ISP, router, and physical internet
     connection as this computer?
     Some possible gotchas...
      *  If the laptop is using a free WiFi hotspot at (say) a café.
         Many free WiFi hotspots block everything apart from http/https
         web access. You *might* be able to get through using SSL and
         port 443, but not with the default NNTP SSL port 563.
      *  If the laptop is using another router in your home and the
         other router is not allowing (a) NNTP, or (b) news.forteinc.com.
      *  If the laptop is using a different ISP to connect to the
         Internet, and the other ISP is throttling NNTP traffic.

Thanks Ralph, I have copied that. Went to try it out and discovered
that (it's Win11) it has completely neutered firefox and is insisting
Edge is better and there are other little wobblies, so have asked a
techie friend to do a teamview next week.

Gee, ain't progress wunnerful!

I'll stick with simple XP and Mozilla 52.9 (non esr) - the latter with
NO commercials showing on youtube.

(insults to follow) yawn...
