Server setup "invalid server address"

Post by Felix DeZwart »

Hi,

I am trying to set up the server config, but keep getting:

"Invalid server address."

I checked it and followed the instructions of my provider, but keep getting it.

I used: news. pureusenet. com

Anyone any ideas for a fix?

Thanks!

Felix

If it's the address you posted above, you have two whitespace characters present.

It also looks like Pure usenet is not using a .com domain. Try "news.pureusenet.nl" instead

Hi OneCD,

I left the whitespaces on purpose, as I got a notification that I couldn't post links as a new member.

I tried the .nl option, and that took, so thanks for the tip!

Even without the spaces, it's an invalid address.

Hmm that's a shame; I copy-pasted it from their own instructions on the site lol.

But like I said: the .nl option worked, as OneCD also recommended
