Outlok 2003 issue with NTTP server

[Enric]

Dear all,

I've got Outlook 2003 sp1 in my own workstation and have a little problem
and I can't work out: when I am going to configure NTTP server
(msnews.microsoft.com) through 'Additional server type' nothing appears there.

What on earth is happening? Does anyone knows how could I configure them? Is
lacking add some add-in or component for that?

Thanks in advance for your input and best regards,

Outlook isn't a newsreader; it uses Outlook Express for this. There are
add-ins for adding NNTP support to Outlook like;

If you decide to order use "4PM76A8" to get a discount.

Outlook doesn't do news. Try hitting View-Goto-News. That will bring up
Outlook Express in Outlook Newsreader mode. Then you can configure it for
the news server of your choice.

I was wrong, thanks for your help but now I've got another problem.

Port 119 seems locked...

Are you behind a corporate firewall?

 

[Enric]

Yes, that's correct

Yes, that's correct

Then you'll either have to ask your sysadmin to release port 119 or content
yourself with the Web access......
