Hey everyone,
I'm trying to figure out this whole newsgroup thing, but I'm having problems
figuring out how to find the server name to put in the "Internet News Server
Name Field" in live mail. I'm a member of a google newsgroup, but I still
am lost as to how to get updates on live mail. I know this is an extremely
stupid question, but can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thank you so much!
 
You can enter the name of your ISP's news server. You get that from your
ISP. If you use MS's news server it is: msnews.microsoft.com

Google Groups does not have NNTP access.
If you are trying to access a non-Microsoft newsgroup, get
a news account from your ISP (if they offer one), or sign up
for a free account here: http://motzarella.org .
 
Thanks a lot Gary. I will try that.
