Downloading msnewsgroups
Why at every attempt to d/l newsgroups in OE6 the result is: “Unable to connect to the server”? Configuration: Account: msnews.microsoft.com Server: msnews.microsoft.com Protocol: NNTP Port: 119 Remember - This is a public forum so never post private information such as email or phone numbers!Have not made use of msnewsgroups and they were deleted from OE6 more than a year ago. Now would like to re-add but cannot obtain the list.Programs you are having problems with Error messages Recent changes you made to your computer What you have already tried to fix the problem 1 person needs an answerI do too

I intend to follow your lead when I can find the time.

I have got it all set up, and it runs well, atleast as fast as my ISP's and Microsoft's newsgroups.My question is, is there any way to start up and log into the NNTP serversautomatically, without having to go through the Start, Sign-in, thenminimize it to the notification area? Since they are separate bridges, itreally is somewhat of a PITA to go through each day. I know, I know, itdoes not take much time, but it IS annoying to have to go through the ritualevery day.TIA!--SC TomHope this helps, Gerry Cornell
