Running v0.7.18 (Ubuntu 10.04, x64), I get "Cannot download news as no internet connection is active" when I try to fetch a news feed. Doesn't matter if it's a custom one or a supplied one.

I saw an earlier message about removing network-manager, but I use VPNs so I don't think that's an option, and it sounds like a dodgy workaround to me anyway. Nothing else has any trouble with the connection here. I even cleared out my firewall iptables rules with -F to no avail.

Any tips?

cheers.
