Check out the date in SPOOL\NNTP.DAT - it sounds like Nos is asking 
for news going back into the Middle Ages!

Use a text editor to bring it more up to date OR he could just remove 
all groups except a very low traffic one, log on and get the news feed 
properly, then the date will be set correctly. The other groups can 
then be added back in.
