Telling your newsreader to look to localhost is only half if the project. That

tell NetProxy itself where to download them so it can begin filtering for you.

Open NetProxy. Click on Edit Configuration Network. Make sure the proper
news server is listed on the page, ie, "news-server.carolina.rr.com".

Let us know if that corrected things for you or do we need to go to Plan B?

Thanks.

I had that done ... just didn't mention it explicitly. If I hadn't done that,
I'd have not been able to authenticate to the server and get the list of
groups.

I do think I have a lead. I told slrn to "catch up", so there are no headers
to download. Then I told it to read all available headers. Its working, but
going _very_ slowly. As in just a couple hundred headers per minute. With many
thousand available, that is going to take hours.

On groups where I have no filters specified, it goes *much* faster. It would
probably go faster if I were only filtering on the header rows that Supernews
supplies by default.

So, it seems to be working. I just need to wait a long while to see if the
filtering actually works.
