There is (unfortunately) no such thing as "the server address
for this group", due to flawed conception of the newsgroup
system: a "newsgroup" (flawed name as well IMO) is not living on
a particular server, it may be duplicated on many different
ones, with no hierarchy, despite the facts that some servers
will be quite powerful and up-to-date, while others may be far
behind - and nevertheless may appear higher in a list.

So, I am sure (after using it for years) that
"msnews.microsoft.com" is a good server for all those public MS
groups; but others may work as well (it's probably the case of
"news.microsoft.com" that Dave Patrick proposed to you).

Unfortunately W3C is stuck in administrative glue and personal
rivalties, and the power best placed for initiating a change
(Microsoft) doesn't believe in the success of its eventual
submission, or doesn't care - or even wishes no success to such
progress.

So (in Outlook Express at least) try click the links I build in
all my replies (example below), then set "msnews.microsoft.com"
as your Default News Server in "OE > Tools > Accounts > News".

Hi Michel,

How do you add a news subscription underneath msnews.microsoft.com

please email me the answer cabreramc_at_gmail.com, thanks
 
(I am implying you are using Outlook Express)

1) Clicking the link for the newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.win2000.general
will open an account and an item in that account:

- 1st, a "News" Server account ("msnews.microsoft.com") in your
Outlook Express, that you will see in 2 places:

* OE, bottom of the left upper pane, "Folders";
* OE > Tools > Accounts > News

- 2nd, a newsgroup item ("microsoft.public.win2000.general") in
that account (that you will see only as a sub-part of the
"msnews.microsoft.com" Server account).

2) To make subscription appropriate to my preferences, I then
Right-Click on the newsgroup
("microsoft.public.win2000.general") and chose
"Synchronization Settings > Headers Only".

(I think replying in public is more appropriate, at least when
the question is useful, as here)

Hello, What is the server address for this group, so I can read

Thanks for the reply,

My question is that how can you create a new subscription to the ones
that is not listed on available subscription, lets say I wan to create a
new newsgroup: microsoft.public.win2000.data_center

Thanks
 
I gave more details than what's appropriate on a Newsgroup
already. If you actually apply what I gave, and do a little try
and search, you will probably find all you need very quickly.
If I misunderstood your question, please rewrite it it more
precisely.

PS. As I pointed, private mail is irrelevant in such issues.

Hello, What is the server address for this group, so I can read
the group with outlook express please
 
Sorry, but let me rephrase that. In the list of subscription lets say
you can't find the appropriate group that you want to subscribe, can you
create a new one that is not yet listed on the selection.

Thanks
 
No you can't. Microsoft controls the newsgroups on this server farm.
