Gerry,

  My problem was not the setup.  My problem was that another server (not
online) had QUEUED items to retrieve new news.

The symptom:  

When I asked for the RSJ server to refresh groups, it indicated that the
server setting didn't have a DNS available.  This message was missleading
at best.

Once I "killed" all the other queued tasks (for the other news server that
was offline), I could then request the RSJ server to refresh groups.

All of these problems and tasks were done while the RSJ server was ONLINE.

I am now able to get access to the RSJ news articles.

Thanks very much for your, and everyone else's help on this.  I appreciate
the help.

Regards,
-Mark
