Whenever I try to access newsgroups I get the message"the server cannot be
found". I go to Internet Options-Programs-Newsgroups and the Internet
Explorer Option is not available. Just Outlook Express, how do I get the
Internet Explorer option?
 
Hi,
Internet Explorer should not be an option under Options-Programs-Newsgroups.
Outlook Express is an NNTP newsreader- IE is not. You will have to setup
news accounts (OE> Tools> Accounts.)

Here's the information for the microsoft.public newsgroups
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/resources/communities.htm

Clicking this link may get things started:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser
and
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress

To access the rest of Usenet (non-microsoft newsgroups) your ISP, if they
provide a newsfeed, should provide the information you need to setup
accounts in Outlook Express.

Hope this helps,
