Resolve Usenet Connection Errors 10060 and 10061
Experiencing Error 10060 or 10061 indicates that your newsreader is unable to establish a connection with the server, often due to connection timeouts or refusals. To address these issues, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
-
Verify Server Address: Ensure that the server address in your newsreader's settings is accurate. For more information about Eweka settings, see https://help.eweka.nl/kb/article/711-how-do-i-access-my-eweka-account-details/. If uncertain, delete the existing server entry and create a new one.
-
Check Security Software: Firewalls or antivirus programs may block the connection. Temporarily disable these applications and attempt to reconnect. Additionally, inspect any firewall settings on your router or modem.
-
Re-register Newsreader in Firewall: After updating security software, your firewall might block the newsreader, mistaking it for a threat. Re-register the newsreader in the firewall settings to restore connectivity.
-
Try an Alternative Newsreader: Connecting with a different newsreader can help determine if the issue lies with your current application.
-
Inspect DNS Settings: Your Internet Service Provider's (ISP) DNS server might be malfunctioning. Verify that your computer's DNS settings align with your ISP's recommendations. Alternatively, input the server's IP address directly into the server address field of your newsreader.
By systematically following these steps, you can identify and resolve the causes of Errors 10060 and 10061, restoring your Usenet access.
NOTE: The IP address of a server can change over the course of time. This can potentially cause you to experience problems.
