Check the username that is entered in your ADSL router config (WAN
section) it will probably have an xtreme variant of your username.

Don't forget, as pointed out by others NetFetch is "broken" as it save the
config you try to enter into the wrong file. At least one of the other
NetFetch users has emailed R-Comp with the information that the utility is
broken so a fix may be forthcoming.

I don't have NetFetch myself but I'm told the typical Group file name is
dunGroup and it is this file that should have a line in the form

server,username,password

NetFetch seems to put the information elsewhere. Without this line
correctly entered NewsHound will fail.

NB. For anyone not wanting every news post giganews have on file for the
groups subscribed to the advice is to change the numbers at the end of the
individual group lines to -100 (that's minus 100) to denote that the last
100 items should be downloaded.
