[Pan-users] connecting to leafnode

[Thufir]

I have leafnode up and running, fetchnews returns a list of groups.  No 
matter what I enter for a server, pan tasks show it queued and 
essentially non-responsive.

I've tried "arrakis", "arrakis.doesntexist.com", "localhost" and 
"leafnode" for the server name.

I've seen mention of both "leafnode" and "localhost" for the server name.

# According to RFC 1918, you can use the following IP networks for 
private 
# nets which will never be connected to the Internet:
#
#       10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255
#       172.16.0.0      -   172.31.255.255
#       192.168.0.0     -   192.168.255.255
#
# In case you want to be able to connect directly to the Internet (i.e. 
not 
# behind a NAT, ADSL router, etc...), you need real official assigned 
# numbers.  Do not try to invent your own network numbers but instead get 
one 
# from your network provider (if any) or from your regional registry 
(ARIN, 
# APNIC, LACNIC, RIPE NCC, or AfriNIC.)
