I'm trying to configure my outlook express to read ngs. I keep getting the
"server not found" popup while its searching for the ngs. Does anyone know
the server name MSN uses for Outlook exp?
 
Which newsgroups?

For these groups, use the following information, which is completely
independent of MSN:
Viewing these Newsgroups with an NNTP Newsreader

Viewing these Newsgroups through Outlook Express

and check "My news server requires me to log on". Click "Next".
