XP internet newsgroup??

[Patty]

Is there a WinXP newsgroup where you can post internet problems? I don't
seem to have one in my list of newsgroups that I keep.

Thanx,

Patty

You use the one for Internet Explorer.

Try microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web. If you don't see it, try using
msnews.microsoft.com as your news server - best place to access all the MS
newsgroups, really.

You've found it.

I think i phrased this wrong. It seems that when I go into Internet
Explorer and go to one of my favorite websites, the website will come up
but when I click on the "chat" button, it won't let me chat. If I disable
my Norton Internet Security, I have not problem opening the chat option.
The website is CBS.com so it is a reputable website. It seems that my
Norton is stopping me from going in there. I also found that I am unable to
play any games while i'm in AOL unless of course I disable my Norton again.
I don't like having my Internet Sercurity disabled so I was wondering how I
go about fixing this?
Thanx......Patty
and thanx for making me feel like a total idiot.......you got
me!!!...........lol

Find out what ports the site/chat requires - they probably have a link that
explains this. Then open them up in Norton.

There was no intent to make you feel like an idiot. Was just sugesting that
you can post your problems here.

I know you weren't trying to make me sound like an idiot. It's just when I
re-read my topic, it did sound kind of silly..........lol.
Thanx again,

Maybe you are. That info doesn't show up in your post properties. Did you
try searching for the group in OE using the newsgroups button on the
toolbar, and subscribing to it?

Is there a way to show the whole title of the newgroup? When I open the
Newsgroups from up top, they'll tell me "microsoft.public.acce..." or
"microsoft.public.wind...". I can't read the entire title of the newsgroup
and they might have up to 10 or so newgroups that start the same exact way
with the 3 ...'s at the end. Do I have to subscribe to all of them and then
unsubscribe? That seems to be the only way I can read the entire title.

Thanx again,

Just pull the top to the right and you will be able to see the entire name
of the newsgroups. I am assuming you are using Outlook Express.

Hi,

Grab the little divider bar between "newsgroup" and "description" at the top
of the listings, drag it to the right.

Also bear in mind that this ability to drag the divider between
columns on the heading bar works in many places in many
applications: the main window in Outlook Express, Open dialog
boxes, etc.

Also bear in mind that this ability to drag the divider between columns on
the heading bar works in many places in many applications: the main window
in Outlook Express, Open dialog boxes, etc.

Also, double clicking a vertical divider, in almost all cases, will
automatically move the divider to take care of the longest name.

How do I go about finding out what ports it uses? I went to the website
(cbs.com) and it doesn't say anything. To go into the Suvivor Chat once I
am in cbs.com, I have to Java. I know I do have Java but, could it not be
functioning properly? I've gone to Add/Remove and tried to modify it to see
if this would fix the problem but it didn't work. I'm wondering if I have
to configure my Norton Internet Security to the Java port? Does this sound
logical? Thanx Patty
