Guest Larry Mauriello Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 I tired posting this last wk but somehow it didn't show up, so I am trying again. I am thinking of changing my ISP. I know if I change my email addr. I change the server name in OE. I assume the same goes for Newsgroups. But what I'd like to know is if I have Newsgroups already do I have to unsubscribe / resubscribe to them over again or will they carry over? TIA
Guest Ron Badour Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Re: Newsgroup ? Assuming that you are connecting to your ISP's newsgroup server (not the Microsoft server), all you have to do is open OE, click on tools, click on accounts, highlight your news account, click properties, click the server tab and enter the new news server name. The newsgroups you are subscribed to will continue to work providing the new ISP's news server carries those newsgroups.

Guest Larry Mauriello Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 Re: Newsgroup ? Nightowl, thanks fo rpointing me to the old msg. I don't know why I wasn't able ot see them before. Obviously I am not using newgroups via my browser. I do use OE. My ISP has me using email addr. and ISP name. But as pointed out I do think changing the ISP server name *should* do it. W/maybe the exception of 2 NG all my groups are MS.public... The other 2 are comp.sys...
