<p>
In the "Advanced" tab you can edit the portnumbers for the servers you will be using. This normally will need no change.
<p>
Close the dialogs, right click the new News folder in the folder pane and select "Subscribe to newsgroups". If not done already, a list of groups will be downloaded from the server. From there you will find your way, so good luck!
