When I use reader.ipv6.xsnews.nl, I get message=502 frontend-E01-08: Access denied to your node - news@frontend-E01-08. From searching, it says that the error is caused by incorrect user/password. I just registered for an account, and copied directly from the email, so I know that can't be possible. Any ideas?
Also, I used to use newszilla6.xs4all.nl, but all of a sudden, it stopped working yesterday. Any ideas?

XS News often doesn't work for me, even when the status page says it's up. I always see this error:
reader.ipv6.xsnews.nl:119: Failed to connect: (10060, "(10060, 'Operation timed out')")
[email protected]:119

Is your IPv6 working? What does

I only test port 119. Is the port number then still useful? If so, where in the output should the port number be?
Current output is:
Code: Select all
absolutely good: news.readfreenews.net -- IPv4-only -- max number of connections is 3 . Binary response (Looks good) 211 1 367598 367598 alt.binaries.boneless

I would really appropriate it if some one can tell me if you can use a different port other then 119. and if it makes a difference.
im kind of new to this thanks

You have to use the port your newsserver provider tells you to use. That could be 119, but also another port

Yeah, often my tunnel fails and that's the problem, but not lately. The first thing I check is that link or kame, and then I look at this:
http://www.xsnews.com/ipv6/
When both my IPv6 is functional and the server is up, I get a bit stumped.

There is one more thing: if a newsserver has more than one IP(v6) address, SABnzbd's "Test Server" can incorrectly give an error message. The real thing is the downloading itself ...

I'm also getting following error:
http://wattcher.015.info/check-ipv6-refresh.html tells me:
Check #1: OK, you have IPv6 network connectivity. Your IPv6 address is 2001:5c0:1400
:613f.
Check #2: Pity: you have no IPv6 name resolving. Alas, this is normal on Windows Vista and Windows 7 with so called Teredo 2001:0:-addresses.
xsnews worked before for me but suddenly not. I also tried with a new free account but I get same error message.

Both reader.ipv6.xsnews.nl and newszilla6.xs4all.nl are working fine here.
They've both worked everyday for the last week.
It's just that sometimes they're down for a couple of hours.
Yet, I haven't seen error messages such as the one you posted.
Cheers

Strange: you have a non-Teredo/Miredo address 2001:5c0:1400
:613f, and still you have no name resolution. I suppose you also can't visit ipv6.google.com?
What happens if you add ipv6-only newszilla6.xs4all.nl as newsserver?
If SAB can't reach that server either, there is probably something wrong with your name resolution. If your OS is not the problem, it could be your modem/router or ISP's DNS. You could set 8.8.8.8 as your nameserver to bypass modem/router and ISP.

Hey all, I've just reverted back to WinXP and reinstalled all my IPv6 info. Is it just me and my settings, or are both XS News and Newszilla INCREDIBLY slow (like 50-90KB/sec)?
Using Gogo6 + GrabIt with the following settings:
server address: 127.0.0.1, port: 1118, server nickname: ipv6 Newszilla6, connections: 3
server address: 127.0.0.1, port: 1120, server nickname: ipv6 XS News, connections: 10
If it's just me, any ideas on what I need to do to get it up and running at "full" speed? Thx for any help!
