Hi,there.
Obviously, forbid changing local accounts cause that problem! I can't do
anything about changing and viewing my local account! I'm sure it is not
the reason that some firewalls block the ports as I can use outlook express
which runing on my virtual machine to access the newsgroup! Who can helo me?
And who can tell me the name of the third software (for free) to read
newsgroup? Thanks a lot!
