How to subscribe to the newsgroup comp.arch.fpga

Your server information comes from your Internet Service Provider and is not a general internet value. If your ISP's webside doesn't contain a simple link to setting up the news server, call your tech support line.

If you can't get the information or don't want to set up within Outlook's Newsreader, consider groups.google.com or - perhaps -groups.yahoo.com (you have a yahoo email account but I can't reach groups.yahoo.com from work).

Thanks for the reply.

I contacted our IT department, and they said that we do not have access to NNTPserver, and NNTP access may leave your computer exposed to viruses. In a word, they would not setup it for me.

However, I still want to read it in my Outlook Newsreader. Does anybody know a NNTP server for "public" so I can log on? I know Microsoft provides "public" server for their own news groups, but I do not know who can provide a NNTP server for comp.* groups.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I can read and reply from here. However, it will take me more than 4 hours to see my new posts. I think it is too slow.

Do some searching for online newsgroup access. I am pretty sure I have heard about at least one good source for free access that does not have the long delays of Google. I can't remember the name though, sorry.

I think groups.yahoo.com is only for yahoo discussion group, not for newsgroups. While yahoo do have FPGA discussion groups, it is different from comp.arch.fpga

free newgroup server

One thing you might like to try is typing "Free newsgroup server" in a google search engine and from the result decide if any of the services are good enough for your use.

The NEW and improved Google groups seems to work nicely:
