That is a very poor description of what happened. No one can help you - barring new and unforseen developements in mind reading technology - unless you a) describe what you did exactly, b) describe what you would expect to happen, and finally: c) explain what happened instead. dotsrc.org runs a usenet-server with public access (you need to register). It may or may not carry the groups you want to read. You can learn more here: <http://dotsrc.org/usenet/> (There are even 5 lines about how to configure Gnus: <http://dotsrc.org/usenet/clientconfig/>). Best regards, Adam ¹ By the way, I'd recommend Simon Tathams "How to Report Bugs Effectively" <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html> before the text by Eric S.
