Firewall Settings

When you install a News Rover upgrade, the NewsRover.exe program file is replaced by the new version. If you are using a firewall program like ZoneAlarm or Norton Personal Firewall, you need to tell the firewall program to allow the new NewsRover.exe program to make outgoing Internet connections. If you don't, you will likely see a message saying News Rover is unable to translate the name of the Usenet news server or it is unable to connect to the news server.

  • Make sure News Rover is not currently running.
