If you are trying to set up a newsgroup account in Thunderbird, whats
is the nntp address for this group?

Sorry, kinda tech illiterate...

It depends on your ISP.

If you're with GreatISP and your email with that account is something like
m...@GreatISP.com, then the newserver might be something like

news.GreatISP.com

or

nntp.GreatISP.com

Check with your ISP for details.

Oh yay.. (not you). My ISP does not speak any, and I mean ANY,
English. I see fun in my future!

If you're having trouble with your ISP and newsgroup servers, you could check
out this conversation:

Yeah, I'll heartily endorse:

http://www.aioe.org/

As a news server. Just download a free newsreader like Newswatcher or
something and use this.
