Newsgroup Problems

ok, this one is really starting to bug me, i use news.cable.ntlworld.com alot, and up to 3-4 days ago, was very happy with the service (apart from the rubbish retention), but now I can not even connect.

I use Grabit and outlook express, Grabit for binaries and oe for text, i know of the other servers (text.ntlworld ect) and have also tried tesco.net and virgin.net that all worked fine untill recently.

Customer services have been no help at all, apart from one guy who sent me the complete list of proxies to try (to no avail).

Could this be due to the msblast worm?, I know both my machines are clean and protected with firewall and virus scanner.

Please, is anyone else having problems, or is it as CS stated, "sorry mate, looks like your configuration".

Any feedback is appreciated.
