Vista - Problem setting up newsgroups in Thunderbird

Seems that this didn't go through - sorry if it shows twice.

I had problems with WinMail so now I am using Thunderbird for mail. I can
not get Thunderbird to set up news servers. I tried to set up the MS
Communities and also my Roadrunner server - I know the Roadrunner server
name and default port are correct - but every time I click on Manage - I get
an error that says "Failed to connect to server news-server.satx.rr.com".
Default port is 119. I am using Windows Vista home. Any help would be
appreciated. Right now I am getting newsgroups through WinMail (that is
what works in WinMail) and mail through Thunderbird and I would like to only
have to use one program.

That's twice you posted this where it does not really belong.

problem is. I have it set up already - it just won't connect. I have
posted in Mozilla and no one anywhere can give any suggestions. i am trying
to find an answer. Are you 100% sure that it doesn't have something to do
with a compatibilty between Thunderbird and Vista. I just need some help
from somewhere - surely someone has seen the problem before.
