| | Re: msnews.microsoft.com server ge-o-tso, I don't think I understand the question. I'm loosing my connection to msn.com server fairly regularly, are you? In WLM go to Tools / Manage newsgroups to subscribe to the ones you want? If this worked, then I'm not having the same problem. -- Thanks, Mike BS - Windows XP Pro 5.1.2600.5512 SP3 - IE 8.0.6001.18702 - AVG Free 8.5.287 - WLM 2009 [Build 14.0.8064.0206] "Robert Aldwinckle" <robald@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:#dQOX4w1JHA.1716@xxxxxx Quote: > (cross-post added to WLMail) > "geotso" <ge-o-tso@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:98846D0F-26D4-4FDE-A130-F3E2707B5DE7@xxxxxx Quote: >>I don't know if this is the right place for my question, but I had nowhere >> else to go, so... > > It's not. ; ) > > Quote: >> Why can't I post to newsgroups on msnews server using a newsreader (Windows >> Live Mail, Thunderbird etc)? > > Windows Live Mail NG (using an MS news client): > > news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...e.mail.desktop > > > (Also cross-posting to it so you can switch to it using your web interface.) > > Quote: >> When I even ping the server I get "request timed out", while I don't have >> any problem with other servers I use. > > That's normal.
