I cant find anything on this error, but a friend is getting it and he is
using the same settings and configuration as his room mate who's email works
fine.

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'email.xx.xxxx.edu',
Server: 'email.xx.xxxx.edu', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure (SSL): No,
Socket Error:0060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Is there somewhere where I could find out exactly what this error means?
Obviously it isn't connecting to the server but why?

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)
