Hi Alan, Try to connect to the news server without the network. Just use one computer attached to the modem. If this works then your settings are ok for that computer, and the problem is the settings with your network. While still using the one computer setup, ping the news server by going to run from the start menu. Type command and at the prompt type ping then your news server. Mine would be (ping news-server.mn.rr.com) substitute your isp's settings as needed. This will return the ip address for the news server write it down. Mine is 24.94.165.86 use the number you get for agent or outlook for the server address. Now hook up the network and test the set up, if you still can't connect to the news server you have a network configuration problem. I would need more information on how you are sharing internet connection in order to help. HTH t0m
