Guest Barney Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 I must use this Forum because I am unable to subscribe to Newsgroups in OE6. I click on Tools/NG/. Starts to download (I see nothing ) and got the message: Unable to connect to Server. A TCP/IP error occurred while ttrying to send data to the Server. Urgent help would be appreciated. Thank you
Guest C J. Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Re: After Reformat and Reinstall can not subscribe to Newsgroups in OE Barney, Make sure you have followed setup procedures outlined by your ISP - for using Outlook Express as a Newsgroup reader. Some ISPs require you to provide your username and password, and to log in using SSL authentication. Additionally - they could be using different incoming and outgoint port assignments - instead of the defaults OE6 comes installed with to use.

They say that this is a problem between me and MS. Phone Microsoft was their final word. At 60$ a shot!!!!!! Don't know what to do. I know that I did not need SSL authentication.
