Thus, my gnus-nntp-server is set to the firewall host whose nntp port is proxied to my ISP's nntp port. I've been using this setup for a while now without problems, but in the past I've not had to authenticate. Since my account username on the newsserver differs from the account I run Gnus on, I've set this in my .gnus: (setq nntp-authinfo-function (function nntp-send-nosy-authinfo)) When I start Gnus, I get the prompt for my username which I enter. XEmacs goes black, and I get prompted for the my NNTP password which I enter. At this point, Gnus accepts the password, and then hangs indefinately. There is no network activity from this point on. Gnus hangs with the red Gnus logo in the buffer, and I have to xkill it and restart XEmacs. At first thought, one might think that I've typed the wrong username and/or password. However, this isn't the case since Mozilla news on the same machine can access the newsserver fine using the same username and password I fed Gnus. Further, Gnus exhibits this same behavior regardless of whether I enter a correct username/password combination or not. I'm not sure whats going on here. Any ideas? This is with Gnus v5.4.56/XEmacs 19.15. Thanks. Jason R. Mastaler jason@mastaler.com
