How do I add this group to my Outlook Express 6?

I selected Tools/Accounts/Internet accounts/Add/News/Add, and in the wizard
I type "microsoft.public.frontpage.client ". When it asks to download
messages it says server not found. I tried with and without checking the
password question.
Maybe I don't know the correct name of the group.

Sorry, I know I'm off topic but I am new to newsgroups since I finally
ditched my AOL and joined the real world.
Thanks,
Rusty
 
Thanks, I'm still not getting it. I'll move over to the OE groups and ask
for help.

I am already subscribed to msnews.microsoft.com and a bunch of XP, IE6, and
OE groups, but they were somehow added automatically when I clicked on them
from a Microsoft support web page.
 
Try connecting directly to the Microsoft news server using this link:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.frontpage.programming

Just glad you figured it out and came back to get the right one.
I just hope that was of some help.
Have a nice night...
