Ok can anyone help or give me some advice on this lads, Im using Astraweb but I cant activated the SSL encryption, all I get is a socket connection error.
Now Ive clicked the SSL box and changed the port number to 443 and 563 and neither of them work. I went to astrawebs website and got the information below I pasted it so you can clearly see I have tried the right ports.
So why wont it connect I obviously want to use the SSL option any help lads ?
THIS IS WHAT I GOT OF THE ASTRA WEB SITE.
We have updated our server connection settings to make things more consistent, and in particular, to allow some strict checking news reader clients* to work.
The old settings will eventually be phased out. You are advised to update your settings at the earliest convenience.
The new settings are:
General Servers (Non SSL) on ports 119, 23, 1818 or 8080:
- news.astraweb.com
- eu.news.astraweb.com (European servers)
- us.news.astraweb.com (U.S. servers)
Secure Servers (SSL) on ports 443 or 563.
- ssl.astraweb.com
- ssl-eu.astraweb.com (European servers)
- ssl-us.astraweb.com (U.S. servers)
