Helllllp! How do I setup news server and news groups in my 'Outlook Express'? My ISP is MSN and I am finally expanding horizons looking to signup with some Linux news groups but to my embarrassment I don't know how to set it up. Tried just adding them but 'I keep getting told the server cld not be found'. I don't even know how New Group Appi in Outlook Express needs to be configured? msn.news.com and net.news.msn.com don't know if i have to use my ISP passwrd or what exactly the wizard is asking for. MSN support does not mention anything about adding or using news groups??? Alas, ignorance is not bliss - although it keeps alot of people in business. lolol Thanks All only one more yr of this MSN ISP!
