Depends on the client you are using. A couple of ways: 1. you could search
for your name 2. score your messages by your name then sort all messages by
score
What do you mean by client? I"m using Internet explorer 6.0. There are
more? If so, where do I get and how to install it? And what you mean by
searching? I did a search on my name and couldn't find anything. If you
could find anything can you post the link here for me. Thank you.

and if you do a google search for usenet news reader you will find many
more.
Don't forget that your news server will only archive (keep) the postings
for a specified amount of time so it may be that your questions may already
have been purged from the server.
Stop using the web interface to the newsgroups and this (and many other
issues) will be resolved. Try using a newsreader like Outlook Express or
Forte Agent instead....it's a lot easier to do nearly everything there,
including searching, which is always a good idea to do before you post, as
well as mark messages to be watched, and filter based on replies to your
posts.
The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you like.
I downloaded the Forte Agent and it's asking me for the following:
News (NNTP) Server:
Mail (SMTP) Server:
Email Address:
Full Name (Optional):
Whats the news server data that i can use so I can read technet's newsgroup
like this one.
I believe I don't need an SMTP server field because unless I can use it as a
pop account from my hotmail/msn account?

As Lanwench told you, the news server is msnews.microsoft.com and no
password is required. Please read this information about posting on
Usenet, including how to munge your email address *before* you start:
