After Reformat and Reinstall can not subscribe to Newsgroups in OE

[Guest]

I must use this Forum because I am unable to subscribe to Newsgroups in OE6.
I click on Tools/NG/. Starts to download (I see nothing ) and got the
message:
Unable to connect to Server.
A TCP/IP error occurred while ttrying to send data to the Server.

Urgent help would be appreciated. Thank you

Barney,

Make sure you have followed setup procedures outlined by your ISP - for
using Outlook Express as a Newsgroup reader. Some ISPs require you to
provide your username and password, and to log in using SSL authentication.
Additionally - they could be using different incoming and outgoint port
assignments - instead of the defaults OE6 comes installed with to use.

I have been in contact with my Server. They say that this is a problem
between me and MS. Phone Microsoft was their final word. At 60$ a shot!!!!!!
Don't know what to do. I know that I did not need SSL authentication.

Which news server do you use: your ISP's, Microsoft's, or some other?

Just called my ISP Provider. Their answer was that they setup my Mail
Internet account but have nothing to do with News account.

Try posting instead to this OE-specific newsgroup:
