I used to be able to access this news group but cannot any more. Are there
any sites which can access them?

Hi - I think you should check with your ISP, or whomever hosts your NNTP
server, or find
another company whose server you can use.

You seem to be accessing it just fine now. What is the problem? The
server is msnews.microsoft.com and there is no username/password
required. If you were previously subscribed through your ISP's
newsgroup server and they aren't carrying the MS groups any more, try
using the Microsoft server instead.

As for web interface, it sucks. You can use Microsoft's own web
interface or Google Groups. If you use Google Groups, please review
these links so you quote correctly, etc.

Replying/quoting properly when using GoogleGroups -

Also see "Google Groups and Netiquette" here - http://www.plainfaqs.org/

Be aware that in some non-MS groups, people will not even respond to
posters who are using Google Groups.
