Newsgroups

I subscribed to a newsgroup and I would like to see all the newsgroups
that are available.

I went to "help" and followed these instructions:

"To subscribe to a newsgroup, begin from the Mail window:

1. Open the File menu and choose Subscribe. You see the Subscribe
dialogue box.
2. If necessary, click the Account drop-down list to choose another
newsgroup account."

When I do this all that shows is my accout name.

Help please.

Thanks

You have to wait while Mozilla downloads all the newsgroups from your
server. This may take a couple of minutes if you are on a dial-up
connection.

When I go to "Subscribe To Newsgroups" what shows in "Accout" is my
Name. If I type anything in "Show Items That Contain" nothing happens.

I am high speed cable.

Help please!

Thanks

Did you enter the proper values for the news server when you set up the
account?
In the same screen instead of selecting Subscribe to Newsgroups select
Server Settings and let us know what is there.

 

"news.acdnet.com"

Thanks for your patience

Okay, what port number is specified
and is SSL enabled or not? (they are on the server settings page)

they shoud be 119 and no checkmark respectively
I just created a newsgroup account with that server
and there are five available newsgroups.

 

It is marker 119 and SSL is not checked

There is only one NG listed "acd"

There are only 7 sub groups

In the box "Account Name" is "Oldtrout"

There is nothing in the box "Show items that contain" & if I type
something in there nothing happens.

Does the fact that I am using Free Agent have anything to do with my
inability to get the other newsgroups?

 

Because thats all there is! Those seven sub groups are all the
newsgroups available on that server, period.
Searching for anything will avail you nothing, as there isnt anymore!
All the groups you can subscribe to on that server are right there, take
your pick.

 

Duh!

I guess that tells me why I can't get anymore.

So I was doing things right after all, for a change.

Thank you for trying to help me do the impossible.

Sincerely,

oldtrout
