I have lurked and cannot find any further information about my problem. I
have called my ISP and they too cannot help me. They told me that I don't
need to have the user name and passsword filled in. However, I read another
email thread that sugguested to do that. So I did and once I fill in the user
name and password it will appear to be looking for my log on and then it will
pop up again. It is the same email and password that I use for my email. I
removed the news profile and set it up again. Once I click on the news it
will ask to look for newsgroups and once it starts it gives an error 480.

My wife recently reformatted our HD and I lost the news groups. I
go through
the process and it starts to download the groups but stops after a
short
while . It appears that the login is wrong but I am pretty sure it
is right.
I had this problem before and as I remember some of the numbers
were wrong.
Would you send me the numbers I need to set it up again. Thanks


So just lurk and watch the thread. There is no point to "me too"
posts.
