Thank you. I did ask the network administrator, who suggested that I make
sure that the .Net client is installed. It is, but that missed the point -
the point is, I can navigate the links (on the left of the portal page) all
the way through english/office/word, but fail on selecting the newsgroup
itself. I also tried the software reader idea too (but not the logon to
newsgroup idea) and that did not help either.

Any ideas why I cannot read/join the newsgroups? I can scroll to the list,
e.g. English/Office/Word, but then when I select (for example) "Word
General
Questions" I get "Page Cannot be Displayed" Try later etc.

This happens at work, but not here. Obviously, since I am posting from
here.

Any ideas? I have checked with our network people, and they say they are
trying to make sure that Microsoft content makes it through the firewall.

Please let me know.

Thanks.
