As a work around I would just find the local server I use which was
news.phnx3.az.home.com, but now I recieve a message from @home news servers
when I connect using the fully qualified host name to the effect of "please
enter "news" for your news server settings".  The Linksys firewall is just
the standard one port Cable/DSL router from Frys Electronics.

Hi John,

Are the ports open?  110 for POP mail, 119 for news?  Is it
limited to @home, or do you have the same problem with any
other provider, like Qwest or Sprint?

Regards,

George
