This is odd, and probably it's because I'm an idiot, but I can connect to
and read news from this server when I am at home on a dial-up to my local
isp.  When I am at work, behind the university's firewall, I cannot get news
from them.  I can, however, ping the site.  Any helpful hints to get me
started on my diagnostic hunt?  I'd like to use this server exclusively, as
I cannot reach our university newsserver from a domain outside the uni's.

Highly likely that nntp is blocked by the university firewall so they can
log who does what on usenet.  If so, you won't be able to use
news.cis.dfn.de
