News Group Settings

I am having a most difficult time configuring Outlook Express to read the
news. Under Accounts, Add, General I typed in "msnews.microsoft.com". No
check boxes have been checked on any tab. When attempting to subscribe I get
an error message "An Unknown Error Has Occured". Under Details, the following
is listed:
Configuration:
Protocol: NNTP
Port: 0
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 80004005
What can I do to resolve this?

Note that this is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Here is the link for the right forum

Good Luck!

It would be great if the newsgroups were user friendly. They are not. Thanks
for the link. I am going there now.
