Connecting to other Newsgroups

[paints2003]

Hey whats up
I have tried to connect to other newsgroups (ex: automotive) but can't. I am giving the link to connect to that certain newsgroup, but all it does is open up Outlook Express and gives me the error message Server Not Found or cannot open on msnews.microsoft.com. Thanks in Advance

Greetings --

Well, there are no automotive news groups on Microsoft's servers.
You need to configure Outlook Express to connect to the news server
that you want to access. Your ISP' tech support will be able to give
you specific instructions and the correct address of their news
server.

You are on the Microsoft server, which only carries MS related
groups. To access the other groups. You need to be on a server that
carries them. Such as, your ISP's. Check your ISP's web site, or call
them from the servers NNTP address.
