Hi,
I tried to configure my outlook express in order to subscribe to a newsgroup, but everytime i tried to download messages from the newsgroup an error "Server not found" comes. I am on a LAN and using a proxy to access the net.. Any idea what configuration setup is required?

Call and ask your ISP about it. They can help you configure it. Also, they may not have a NNTP Server so that may prevent you from using news groups. Call and find out. http://www.opentechsupport.net/forums/smile.gif

If you have any type of firewall up, make sure port 119 is open as well.

Try going to the news server configuration and using "news-server". Works for me.
