subscribe to newsgroup

[Guest]

Sorry, cannot understand how this all works.
How can I subscribe to this newsgroup using Outlook Express.
I've been using IE but I can't understand it or it doesn't work I don't know
which.
What do I enter for a server name in Accounts in OE?
Thanks,
Frank

msnews.microsoft.com

Follow the prompts after that and you should find what you need.

If you still have problems, post them here.

msnews.microsoft.com is one that you can use.

Your ISP may also have one.

Here's an easier way:

Read this, then click on the aumha link...

MICROSOFT PUBLIC NEWSGROUPS
[[There are many valuable newsgroups on the msnews.microsoft.com server, on
nearly every available topic and in many different languages. Clicking the
links below will automatically create any necessary account configuration in
Outlook Express and take you directly to the newsgroup you have selected -
no complicated technical configurations are needed!]]
http://aumha.org/nntp.htm

Then all you have to do is scroll down and click on the newsgroup links that
you want to subscribe to.

If you want to try the harder way...

1. Launch Outlook Express.
2. On the Tools menu in Outlook Express, click Accounts.
3. In the Internet Account dialog box, click the Add button, and then click
News.
4. In the Internet Connection Wizard that appears, type your name in the
Display name field, and then click Next. Type your e-mail address in the
e-mail address field, and then click Next.

Mung your E-mail address so that it is not real. I.e.
(e-mail address removed) that looks real but has extra letters.

5. Type: msnews.microsoft.com in the News (NNTP) Server field.
6. Click Next. Click Finish, and then click Close.
7. When asked, "Would you like to download newsgroups from the news server
you added?" click Yes.
8. In the Newsgroup Subscriptions dialog box, type
microsoft.public.windowsxp. to display all Windows XP newsgroups. Click
the newsgroups you're interested in, then click Subscribe, and you're
ready to go!

Thanks, it seems to work.
Just curious, how could I have known that?
I must be missing something.
BTW, the link "michaelstevens..." takes you someplace else.

Thanks, it seems to work.

You're welcome. Glad to help.

Google, for example. There are also other news servers that carry the
Microsoft newsgroups. Your ISP probably provides one.

I must be missing something.
BTW, the link "michaelstevens..." takes you someplace else.

Yes, I see that now. His domain name seems to have expired.

Michael, if you're here, are you aware of this?

Hello Adam
I do not have any idea how to host a web site.
If I wanted to know I think I would Google.

Fixed, I thought I had it set to automatically renew and it didn't.
