Newsreader error

[Philip Wormald]

Can't get any of my Newsgroups to work, any ideas.

(Same problem in Outlook Express).

Running XP home, just upgraded from ME.

Unknown ERROR:

Configuration:
Protocol: NNTP
Port: 0
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 80004005

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi!

Set port 119 in Advanced settings.

Remove the account and add it again. Note that Outlook isn't an Newsgroup
editor; it uses Outlook Express for this

Here is the link for the right forum

Good Luck!
