Hi people,

Due to a computer problem I had to re-do my Outlook Express setup. In the
interium, I lost my access to these news groups via O.E.

Can someone please post the setup insturctions again?

Thanks in advance.

To access these newsgroups using NNTP, please use the following information
for your NNTP client (such as Microsoft Outlook Express):

- NNTP Server: privatenews.microsoft.com

- Account name: privatenews\spyware

- Password: spyware

Hi

To choose "open in a newsreader" seems to be a "dead end".

http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...s/default.mspx

This is my old working settings:

- NNTP Server: privatenews.microsoft.com
- Account name: privatenews\spyware
- Password: spyware

This is indeed horrible, is someone testing this from MS ?

Thank You fellas! Yes, open in your news reader is, indeed, shot down for
the time being.

I am back up and using O.E. Thanks again.

Well

"Shot down" must be a understatement, "syntax error"

One more "Dear Bill", please send a request to some MS department for
HMI errors.

Another non-working function is e-mail notification when an answer appears.
I received the e-mail. I clicked on the link to be taken to the response and
was directed to a general page because the link could not be found. Had to
go back manually to the web based viewer to see your answers.

This needs some Microsoft attention, I think. (-:

Hi

Well, I can send up a phpBB forum to a webserver and everything works
within 15 minutes including SQL database. Also to create 6 groups and a
mailfunction.

Then it takes 1 minute to change linked URL.

That link is trying to open the group on the public newsserver. I could be
an optimist and say that must mean they intend to go public soon--but I
suspect it is a snafu.

Did you use the feedback link on that page?

I will, as well.

I have a sinking feeling that this one isn't easily resolved. The groups
require credentials when used via NNTP, and I'm not sure there's any way to
provide that via a simple URL link. The links as published make no
sense--they invoke MSNEWS with a .private group. Those groups live on
PRIVATENEWS.

So--I don't know what they can do to fix this page--but I complained about
it via the feedback mechanism. My experience with these feedback links is
that they work pretty well--but if the first response isn't to the point,
you have to bump back and then you reach somebody who does know what to do.
This one may take several iterations, and I don't know how it'll come out.

Try this--when the email comes, and you have it open, hit alt-v, h to view
in HTML view.

Then click on the link.

That works for me.
