1. Eudora is email client
2. How do I read newsgroups?
3. Error message trying to set up Outlook Express to
read newsgroups.
4. What's wrong? Is there another way in XP Home to
read newsgroups, without OE?

Click to expand...

You're trying to communicate by NNTP. Default ports are 119 and 120.
Make sure your firewall is configured for these ports (if you don't
have a firewall: Set up the firewall in XP immediately!). Do you have
configured the news server address given by your provider?

BTW: Error messages do have a text (most of the time) which will give
a hint about the problem. If you don't want us to help, you are not
allowed to give us any hint about the hint.

Ciao, Walter
