I've already tried that. Tried it both ways and I get the same error message! I wish I had my old system so I could export my newsgroup settings but alas...! I just can't figure this one out!

Hi Robert, > > Outlook Express could not post your message. Subject 'D2006 options', > > Account: 'news.east.earthlink.net', Server: 'news.earthlink.net', Do you try to connect to the Borland newsgroups through the news.earthlink.net set of newsgroups? If that's the case, then that's your problem... The Borland newsgroups are available as "newsgroups.borland.com" and also as a read-only copy on a number of additional news servers. Read-only is the key here. Posting to the Borland newsgroups through other news servers (like your news.earthlink.net) either leads to messages that do not show up in the original newsgroups.borland.com set of groups, or an error message (which is supposed to be helpful), telling you that the Borland newsgroups are read-only. As fix, you need to point your news reader to newsgroups.borland.com, port 119, no encryption, and then you may find you can read and post messages.
