Cannot find groups

[Antioch]

Hello All

Sorry - this is OT but -

Last night, I lost connection to the net - still gone this morning.
I was trying to arrange an engineers visit whilst in the broadband support
group.

I am now at work and although I have msn.newsgroups set up in OE6, for some
reason I cannot see any of the normal VM groups.
I have followed the instructions as per below [at least six times]

http://www.virginmedia.com/myvirginmedia/newsgroups/setting-up.php

There are only 4 virginmedia groups - no BB support, no PCGuard etc.
There a couple of ntls there as well. This group is the only one with any
posts showing.

Hello Max

Many thanks for your invaluable help and reading my post for me.
Re getting VM ngs here at work, I have tried - followed various forum
advice - keep getting error numbers.
I will crack it eventually.
But for the moment, you have solved my most urgent 'need to know'. I was
not looking forward to using the telephone this evening.
Take care.
