Newsgroups

[Pete]

Hi
Just wondered if I've missed something these passed couple of weeks.
I run MS Windows XP with BT as my ISP, used to use Outlook Express for Email
as well as BT Web mail and, more important, got MS's Usenet groups.

But just recently, after a terrific crash, I can no longer get News groups.
I get maybe: msnews.Microsoft.com but when I try news.btinternet.com, no
luck. Just will not download.

Anyone suggest another Web newsgroup list like MS listed?
Many thanks for any help.

I get it. You want to check the settings for newsgroups on Outlook Express.

You are better going to a BT newsgroup such as bt.broadband.support.

Sounds like the "bt" newsserver is down. Call your ISP and ask.
