Sorry if this is not the right group, but I cant get into any of my
regular news groups. Message is Configuration:
Account: news
Server: localhost

For the group where you posted, it should be
msnews.microsoft.com.

Configuration details may vary according to
which newsgroup browser you use. In IE
they are set via / Tools / Accounts.
