I've had a similar problem, perhaps I can help. When Back Orifice started
spreading some people at my ISP became worried and set up some filters. By
default these filters were on for all their clients. At that moment I couldn't
connect to the POV-newsserver anymore. After disabling these filters (and thus
publicly displaying my BO ;-) ) the thing was solved.

Hope it helps,

Remco
