Hi,
MS has been having problems with the news servers for the last few weeks
because of the swen virus.

Try pinging or tracert the server. It could be an internet problem.
From a command window...

tracert msnews.microsoft.com

Hi,
Click this and it will add the MS server to OE.
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...el.programming

Click the "News groups" button.
Then you can download the newsgroups on the server and choose the ones
you
want to subscribe to.
