Varrus (11/20/2006)
No, I'm saying that I completely removed ZoneAlarm about three weeks ago. :-/
Ah - this threw me
Everything keeps pointing to something being wrong with my firewall. The only thing I can think of is that I uninstalled (ie. stopped using) ZoneAlarm a little while back. FeedDemon kept working fine after that, until I tried installing a new version.
I read that as "...until I tried installing a new version (of ZA)". Now I get that you meant new version of FD. Sorry for the confusion.

Nope - by default Inbox and the Screen Saver connect exactly the same (use the system default proxy from the framework)... this just gets more strange.

Jack - sorry for the confusion!
Nick - it's not your fault, but you just crushed my last remaining hope that I'd be able to figure this out! 
Seriously, they connect in the same manner? I can't figure out what might be going on here.
I'm almost at the point of reinstalling ZoneAlarm to see if there's some vestige of it that is causing the problem. Has anyone ever come across something like that before?

Absolutely - ZA is one of the hardest apps I've ever come across to clean out of a system; It kept blocking some apps on the box I built for my father-in-law even after I had removed/deleted every component I could find; we finally just had to re-install it and leave it installed on that machine so he could run his business until we had time to backup an re-format the drive...

Wow, well thanks everyone - ZoneAlarm turned out to be the culprit. Apparently even after completely removing it from your system, it continues to block software that hasn't been whitelisted. Since I changed the version of FD I was running, it was being blocked. Only software that had been explicitly been whitelisted and was still current was working.
Installing and continuing to use ZoneAlarm seems to be my only option now - and I couldn't want to less!
Anyway, thanks for all the effort you all put into this thread!

Well FeedDemon (and most of the other applications) are all better, but NewsGator screensaver still refuses to connect. Very strange.
