I used to be able to access this news group but cannot any more. Are there
any sites which can access them?

Wanadoo discontinued Newsgroups in March. If you want MS newsgroups, then
just set up a new news server in OE. Use msnews.microsoft.com as the server.

Thanks but I have already got MS newsgroups. Are you saying that no one
supports Wanadoo newsgroups?

He's saying they don't exist anymore, there's nothing to support.

There's no Wanadoo news server in existence. if you don't need binary
groups, then look here:
www.individual.net
10 Euros per year, excellent retention and replication.

I dropped Wanadoo after March for that very reason, they dropped ng's
without warning.
Im now with Madasafish and very happy with it.
For binaries I use Forte Agent.

Yes, you should use
nntp://news.microsoft.com:119/microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics to access
this newsgroup directly.

Individual.net is a spam and troll haven with no active abuse staff, and
hides the NNTP-Posting-Host making abusers totally unaccountable. Because
of this, what was once a good news server now receives very little if any
propagation thanks to unmitigated abuse.
You're better off going with Teranews. They're cheaper, they propagate, and
they don't tolerate abuse.

What a load of unmitigated CRAP.

No, not really. Go search through news.admin.net-abuse.usenet,
individual.net comes up on a regular basis as the source of much chagrin
among news administrators. I know my news server drops individual.net
posts because of this.

Your client doesn't handle NNTP links properly, then. Sorry. XNews handles
URLs correctly... http://xnews.newsguy.com/
