Default Problem downloading newsgroups

Hi - I just installed broadband yesterday and am trying to download the list
of newsgroups to OE6 from news.verizon.net, but I get the following error:

"Unknown Error"

Click on Details and it says:

configuration:
Protocol: NNTP
Port: 0
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 80004005

It was set to that so I changed it to SSL/563. As I expected, that didn't
work so I changed it back to 119, at which time everything downloaded. Go
figure.
Thanks
