How do you join a newgroup?  Or just view one?  Every time I find the link to one, Outlook Express tells me the server can't be found.  I realize I probably sound like a retard, but just bear with me..

Try news.comcast.com since you use Comcast cable. Also, use something other than Outlook to browse news groups. I used to use Grab It when I used to browse new groups a few months ago.

Hmm...didn't work.  "Connection failed".  And how are newsgroups related to my ISP?  Once again, I probably sound like a retard... :cry:
