I see. This works. The server then (i.e. when Gnus went to the "dead" state as described previously in the thread) looks like this: {nnfolder:archive} (opened) {nndraft:} (opened) {nntp:news.space.net} (opened) This means, that the news server is not in "denied" state. Nevertheless, it can't re-connect from Gnus (though it can easily from, say, Netscape Messenger). Further, even if I manually establish a connection (by, say, running 'ping' from an xterm), Gnus stays stuck (in my original posting, I had erroneously written that in this case, Gnus would continue to work properly - but this was either pure luck, or a misobservation). Could it be that Gnus, when it starts, stores some information about the server, which it assumes to be constant during the whole session? And if my router disconnects, and reconnects later, some parameters changed (for example, the IP address assigned to me is likely to be different on every dial in, because I don't have an ISP who would provide me with a fixed IP address). Any other things I could ty to track down that nasty problem? Ronald
