I prefer using a news reader (OL Express, Thunderbird, etc.). Outlook
Express is more than likely already on your computer and Thunderbird is
available free from Mozilla.org. It is easier to track the messages that I
am interested in and I think it is easier to read.

The name of this newsgroup is microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs. I prefer
to use my ISPs NNTP server than to go through the hassle of running it on my
server so I have never set it up and cannot help you there. Most ISPs have
an NNTP server available for your use as part of your subscription but you
might need to call them to get the NNTP servers name. Hope this helped.
