Yes. "this server requries me to logon" has been checked, with my windows live account name and password, adn "remember password" is checked. If I uncheck "this server requires me to login" I still get the same errors. When I try to open a spceific newsgroup, I get this error: Header download for the 'microsoft.public.windows.server.active_directory' folder did not complete. Account: 'msnews.microsoft.com', Server: 'msnews.microsoft.com', Protocol: NNTP, Port: 119, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC15 Regarding that particular error number, I found this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813514 And this Internet search offers more links: http://ws.copernic.com/copern/ws/results/0/Error%20Number!3A%200x800CCC15/1/417/topnavigation/Relevance/iq=true/zoom=off/_iceUrlFlag=7?_IceUrl=true In general, if a Telnet console connection to port 119 works, then it is not likely a firewall issue. Outbound connections do not need firewall pinholes, and a successful Telnet connection only verifies that. The 'msnews.microsoft.com' server does not require authentication of any kind, nor does it require a secure connection. Using port 119, with no username and password should work. All that is left, really, is any third party anti spam, or anti virus applications, or other kind of proxy. MS Outlook Express seems to not play well with proxies. You could try lengthening the timeout value of the connection. Account Properties, Advance tab. Drag the slider closer to the right for a longer server timeout value. If you have not done so, try setting up logging. Tools | Options | Maintenance. Near the bottom is a "Troubleshooting" section with check boxes for SMTP, News, POP3, IMAP, and HTTPMail (maybe more, or different order). Place a check in the box labeled, "News". Here is an example for an article I posted to 'microsoft.public.test.here': | Microsoft Internet Messaging API 6.00.2900.5579 (xpsp_sp3_gdr.080411-1536) | NNTP Log started at 08/29/2009 05:02:13 | NNTP: 05:02:13 [db] Connecting to 'msnews.microsoft.com' on port 119. | NNTP: 05:02:13 [rx] 200 NNTP Service 6.0.3790.1830 Version: 6.0.3790.1830 Posting Allowed | NNTP: 05:02:13 [tx] MODE READER | NNTP: 05:02:13 [rx] 200 NNTP Service 6.0.3790.1830 Version: 6.0.3790.1830 Posting Allowed | NNTP: 05:02:13 [tx] POST | NNTP: 05:02:13 [rx] 340 Continue posting - terminate with period | NNTP: 05:02:13 [tx] | . | NNTP: 05:02:13 [rx] 240 Article Posted OK | NNTP: 05:02:14 [db] Connection to 'msnews.microsoft.com' closed. The file was located in the MSOE message store for this particular Identity, and was named, 'Microsoft Communities.log'. The name appears to relate to the "friendly name" of the server in your client; may be 'msnews.microsoft.com.log', if your account name is default. Try it, and post back the result. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

All I said was to try something - it worked for me, worked for my sister, and has worked for several others around here. I don't know why. But it does. Well, I, for one, am curious to know why. Please post the result of `nslookup msnews.microsoft.net` or whatever name you use for the server. To accomplish that, click Start, then Run, then enter "cmd" without quotes in the Open field. In the new window, enter the following command: nslookup msnews.microsoft.net Right-click and select Mark, highlight the nslookup command line and all output, and press Enter. That copies to the clipboard. Then paste into your response here. It also works better using the IPs Not suggesting using the IP address instead of a name. But the IP address is what is used in the actual computer-to-computer communication. So that, not a name, tells us what you are using when you configure the server name msnews.microsoft.net. ----- original message ----- "Twayne" wrote in message ... "N.

No but make sure you have it configured correctly before saying it doesn't
work. Also see if it works in a new identity. Zuke wrote: So, that means the problem doesn't exist?
