I have a LAN connection to Internet, and also a Dial-Up connection for
emergencies.
Using the LAN connection, I have been trying to set up a newsreader
account in Outlook Express, choosing msnews.microsoft.com as the NNTP
server. OE tries to download newsgroups from the server, but fails,
giving the error message "Unable to Connect to the Server". The
"details" are as follows.

Configuration:
Account: msnews
Server: msnews.microsoft.com
Protocol: NNTP
Port: 119
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 800ccc0e

If I use "FeedReader", there is no problem. Also, there is no problem
in OE if I use Dial-up, but, for obvious reasons, I would like to use
OE with my (24-hr) LAN connecion. Can someone please guide me to a
solution?
Thanks in advance.
