How are you posting? Are you using the web interface, or a newsreader such
as Windows Mail?
You'll generally find better results if you use a newsreader. The server
name you need is
msnews.microsoft.com
Just open Windows Mail, go to Tools, Accounts, Add, Newsgroup Account. and
follow the prompts. You do not need a username or password to log on.
Note that you *do not* need to provide your real email address, and it's a
good idea to not do so; this will prevent spammers from harvesting your
email account and filling your inbox.
This service is free and is not dependent on the ISP you use.
