Aggregators

I've experimented with three aggregators: SharpReader, SauceReader, and EasyFeed. What they all have in common is that I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get any of them to connect to the Internet. Every time that I try to get SauceReader, let's say, to access any page whatsoever, I get an error message: "SauceReader cannot connect to the Internet. Please check your Internet Settings." Then, the window for my cable connection comes up. But I have no idea what, if anything, needs to be changed there. Or when I try to use EasyFeed, it says, "The underlying connection was closed. Cannot connect to the remote server."

Anyone have any ideas?

    Depends on how you are connecting to the Internet in other applications. Do you have a proxy server, or are you connecting directly? Check the settings of the aggregators and compare them to the settings in your browser - the proxy should be the same.

    Or you could try a web-based aggregator like bloglines.com -- it works very well.
