FYI:
andras.net will be up and down sporadically in the next couple of days due to a major change in the server environment.
I apologize up front about the inconvenience it may cause.

I hope (crossing fingers) that all data will be preserved :)

Well,,,, I could use some help to install the driver:(

This explains why it stopped working:( PHP scripts has to has execute right to be executed by the server.
Ask your web provider/host about the PHP script rights.

Would be interesting to know if you have the same trouble with news.andras.net. Both uses the same news server program but I can't tell if my one experiences the same problem being a local address :)
I guess it is something to do with the authorization process - tho the reading doesn't requires authentication.

That was the CA who ejected you. No URL allowed to post in AWGate due to the recent hacking attempts.

From Steve Gibson's Inbox:

---------------------------------------------------------------
How to Prove It
---------------------------------------------------------------

Proof by example: The author gives only the case n = 2 and
suggests that it contains most of the ideas of the general
proof.

Proof by intimidation - "Trivial."

Proof by vigorous handwaving - Works well in a classroom or
seminar setting.

Proof by cumbersome notation - Best done with access to at least
four alphabets and special symbols.

Proof by exhaustion - An issue or two of a journal devoted to
your proof is useful.

Proof by omission - "The reader may easily supply the details"
"The other 253 cases are analogous" "..."

Proof by obfuscation - A long plotless sequence of true and/or
meaningless syntactically related statements.

Proof by wishful citation - The author cites the negation,
converse, or generalisation of a theorem from the literature to
support his claims.

Proof by funding - How could three different government agencies
be wrong?

Proof by eminent authority - "I saw Karp in the elevator and he
said it was probably NP-complete."

Proof by personal communication - "Eight-dimensional coloured
cycle stripping is NP-complete [Karp, personal communication]."

Proof by reduction to the wrong problem - "To see that infinite-
dimensional coloured cycle stripping is decidable, we reduce it
to the halting problem."

Proof by reference to inaccessible literature - The author cites
a simple corollary of a theorem to be found in a privately
circulated memoir of the Slovenian Philological Society, 1883.

Proof by importance - A large body of useful consequences all
follow from the proposition in question.

Proof by accumulated evidence - Long and diligent search has not
revealed a counterexample.

Proof by cosmology - The negation of the proposition is
unimaginable or meaningless. Popular for proofs of the
existence of God.

Proof by mutual reference - In reference A, Theorem 5 is said to
follow from Theorem 3 in reference B, which is shown to follow
from Corollary 6.2 in reference C, which is an easy consequence
of Theorem 5 in reference A.

Proof by metaproof - A method is given to construct the desired
proof. The correctness of the method is proved by any of these
techniques.

Proof by picture - A more convincing form of proof by example.
Combines well with proof by omission.

Proof by vehement assertion - It is useful to have some kind of
authority relation to the audience.

Proof by ghost reference - Nothing even remotely resembling the
cited theorem appears in the reference given.

Proof by forward reference - Reference is usually to a
forthcoming paper of the author, which is often not as
forthcoming as at first.

Proof by semantic shift - Some of the standard but inconvenient
definitions are changed for the statement of the result.

Proof by appeal to intuition - Cloud-shaped drawings frequently
help here.

I would change those services to Manual or Disable. Most likely the IPSEC service blocks your access to your world server.
ICF is not running, so I see no sw firewall running.
