I can no longer get to my newsgroups because Live Mail says it cannot connect to the internet, possibly due to antivirus program or firewall. I turned off anti virus and still can't connect. I checked firewall and Live Mail is being given permission to connect. Also, Live Mail DOES download my email; it is only the newsgroups that are causing problems. This occurred with Microsoft newsgroups as well as my other newsgroup. How can I correct this? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no difference. I also created a new user account and I still have the problem with that account. Please help. I don't want to reinstall my entire OS if possible.
I have no problem on my laptop connecting with WLM and have similar settings on both,
Thanks.
(I have corrected this problem). I was notified of several replies, but none showed up when I went to the post, so I thought I would just edit to thank everyone. A reply to my next post was the answer. I had entered the port number incorrectly. )
