Agent Newsreader issues

[Minburn]

Since installing Win 7 64 and newest Agent 6.0 newsreader, I'm being plagued with 'operation times out' and 'unable to find address of (news) server' while downloading binary attachments. I'm finding a relationship in that it occurs when the computer goes to sleep; within seconds of my moving the mouse/wakening the computer, Agent continues with the downloading.

I'm not all that familiar with networking other than have been able to get systems working in WinXP with little issue. Any (and I mean 'any') idea of what may be going on??

Your news server is slow, or has unusually heavy traffic, so [Free]Agent thinks your link is dead and times out. [/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
