I could get was a news account with no connection. Couldn't download
newsgroups, and I won't waste time telling you how bad it got at times.
I just need to know how, and IF I can set this news server up with the
u/n and password to get connected? Please take pity on me, I'm dealing
with a new Win7 O/S and a new SM 2.7... and both have text and symbols
that are almost illegible for these old eyes. :)

SM 2.7, Win XP Pro SP3 (is win7 that different?).
It is to me. :) With my video card I can no longer use 800x600 and get
a full screen. If you don't use their recommended 1366 resolution, it
creates havoc with web sites, and you get these narrow windows down the
middle of the screen. XP & ATI was perfect! :)
Be sure that
Seamonkey is checked in exceptions in windows firewall.
Eternal-September works fine for me with these settings:
Server settings:
Server Type: News Server (NNTP)
Server Name: news.eternal-september.org
Port: 119
Connection Security: None

Thanks, Lance. Those are the settings I put in, but it was a no go.
However, I haven't checked the Windows firewall, because I had never
used it with XP. I am using Windows Defender on the new laptop, and I
will check that tomorrow. Thanks!
