Mine.  For whatever reason, it seems fairly common practice to block 
port 119.  Personally, I think it's somewhat ridiculous, as newsgroup 
access is very useful for software development, but whatever.  This is 
why I've come to like Google Groups.  It's not because I actually like 
the interface, but because I can access it from everywhere.
