Fix for NewsRover 3.0 Rev.1/Rev.2 online check
Target File: NewsRover.EXE
BACKGROUND
Some time ago (October 1997) a keygenerator was released for News
Rover version 2.7. The authors reacted with a release that could
detect serials generated by the keygenerator. This release would let
you register, but if the serial didn't pass a second check while
getting the message headers from the newsgroup, it would delete
certain files in its directory.
Since there were still serials released which could pass all checks
the authors decided to include an online check with their server in
version 3.0. This is where we are now. When NewsRover 3.0 is
downloading messages it gets your hostname
gethostbyname: computername=204.128.121.99
then is opens a new socket, connects and sends some data to
this address:
Hostname: NG.SANDH.COM
IP Address: 204.181.142.11
Port: 7520
This fix eliminates the online check for NewsRover 3.0 Rev.1 and
Rev.2 (check menu Help | About News Rover for the version).
WHAT TO DO
1) enter this name and serial:
Name: Johnny Bravo
Serial: 0210-2180-25
2) apply the patch (to remove online check)
The fix requires Win95/NT to run. You can easily run it from within
a ZIP file. If you choose to do so a backup will be made of the
original file (e.g. newsrover.exe.bak).
