Use of NewsGroup

[Jean-Pierre Lafaille]

I am new (I mean REALLY new) in this newsgroup.

When I want to "Reply Group" I can write the reply, but when I send it, I
get an empty dialog box (at least I suspect it is !) which stays there
"forever". I just can close it and of course the reply is not sent.

When I "Reply to Sender" the message is apparently sent, but after a while I
receive an error message telling more or less that the mail server does not
exist.

What or how should I do ? Do I have to somehow register to be able to "Reply
Group" ?

You might want to ask your question in the Outlok Express Newsgroup

First of all, welcome. Second, what program are you using to participate in
the NG? Are you using the web interface or a news reader like Outlook
Express?

It may have to do with something in your settings. Go to Tools > Accounts >
News and highlight the news account msnews.microsoft.com and click on
Properties. What do you have set under the Server, Connection, and Advanced
tabs?

Many thanks to all of you who helped me on this.
I went to the OE group and got useful advice there, which eventually solved
the problem, as you can see, being able to read this REPLY.
