It looks like you've got the wrong server names set for your incoming &
outgoing mail servers. You might want to check with your Internet provider
to double-check what they're supposed to be.

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)
