How do I get communities back please?

[Peter in New Zealand]

Did something in the initial stages of exploring Mail in Vista and lost the
server account for Communities. Have subscribed to msnews.microsoft.com
"normally" but keep getting an error message telling me it can't connect to
the communities server, so rating, catagory, and other community information
was not included with the message. Server" msnews.microsoft.com", Protocol:
Port 80, Secure (SSL): No, Server error 200, Error number: 0x8007000D.

Hmmmm, have Googled it and all I seem to get is a pile of commercial sites
offering to sell me various untilities to fix this error. But surely it's a
simple matter of getting the server and protocol parameters entered right?
Can't seem to locate anything on the Communities web site that helps, so can
some kind person here help please? Many thanks.

On my system the port is 119

note. No userid / password etc. is required.

It is an intermittent problem.
Happens all the time.

It's OK all, I got it!

Thank you for the suggestions everyone. I got it sussed. I needed to put my
Windows Live ID into the account setup. Had done that, but it seems I
mistyped the password. Just reset a new password, and everything's fine
again. Darn literal minded computers (smile)

I appreciate the help guys. Live long and prosper.
