I figured out why it wasn't working... I had closed the port on my router.

That said, I also think I figured out why I did so.  I was able to lynx to
it but, as there is apparently no way to log on via the synchronet gopher
pages, so you are presented with a rather small selection of message
groups and file areas, none of which are accessible without a logon.

So all you get is the main page and links that don't function.

I closed port 70 back up.  ;)
