| Hello,
I'm using outlook express 6, with Windows XP sp2, and when I add the news
server "news.microsoft.com" or "msnews.microsoft.com" and outlook express
tries to connect to the server, I receive the following error:
" Configuration:
Account: news.microsoft.com
Server: news.microsoft.com
Protocol: NNTP
Port: 119
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 800ccc0e "
Am I using the wrong server name? this newsgroups required authentication?
I wasn't sure about where to post this question.

| Hi Leen,
I receive the same error with msnews.microsoft.com. Do I need check the
server requires authentication?
Thanks

no- are you behind a firewall, that blocks TCP port 110 ?
Because the error message says, that there is no server.
news://msnews.microsoft.com
