NewsGroups - How do i know my News (NNTP) Server ?

[VAP0R]

I'm trying to use Newsgroups in outlook but i come around a question asking me for my News (NNTP) Server name. How do i figure this out? I use Bellsouth FastAccess DSL.

Ask your ISP - usually this means taking a look at the tech support section of their web site.

If your ISP happens not to provide an NNTP server, there are a number of companies out there that run dedicated NNTP servers that you can access on a capacity basis (e.g. one level of account allows you to download 1 GB per month, etc.). I used to have an account through supernews but there are others out there.
