Newsgroup help please

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

I am looking for help with newsgroups, which I seem unable to access.
Everytime I do try to get into newsgroups, I get error messages saying the
connection has been unexpectedly terminated, similar to the one I have
pasted below.
I am still unsure how I got this far today, but was still unable to go any
further or access any other groups.
I have also been unable to access any groups through OE.
Please forgive me if I do not reply to any help, this will only happen if I
cannot get back to this point.
Many thanks,
D

do you have a router connected?
If you have high speed connection, switch off your modem for 60 seconds,
please post your results

Are you sure it shouldn't be news.freeserve.com? It surely shouldn't be
127.0.0.1 (localhost) should it? I'd start there...

For this one?

Open OE > Tools > Accounts > Add > News > msnews.microsoft.com > follow the
wizard with a fake name and fake email address

Try that one and see if you get any problems? (That would be the one for us
by the way.)

The port for NNTP (newsgroups) is 119 not 110. That is why.

Now if you care to post THE error message that you do get, not a similar
one.

Thanks, but I still appear to only be able to access this group, on any
others, I get a message to say that "The TCP/IP was unexpectedly terminated
by the server". When I click on Details, the following message displays:

Configuration:
Account: news.freeserve.com
Server: news.freeserve.com
Protocol: NNTP
Port: 119
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 800ccc0f

I have made changes as suggested here.
I have an Error warning triangle at bottom right of the screen, and a
Working Online message.
Thanks.

Sorry to interupt but is this news server the same as your ISP? Does your
ISP require that you logon with the same user/pass as your dialin
connection? Does your plan with your ISP include newsgroup access?
