Which server are you attempting to connect to? who is your ISP? - can you
connect OK to these servers??(server msnews.microsoft.com - no password

Ah - there's the snippet that makes the difference!
"thru outlook express or netscapse newsgroups"
it's not an OE problem then - it's more likely a problem with your ISP.
contact them and see what they have to say.
