Can"t connect to newsgroups with outlook express since going Hughe

I have been unable to find a way to use outlook express to read ms newsgroups
since I changed from dialup to Hughesnet. My email and websites on IE work
great.

Outlook Express insists on dialing something even though I have gone through
and disabled everything in setup that relates to dialup and have done the
highspeed internet connection setup.

I just realized I didn't describe the setup. I am connected to Hughesnte via
a network card which gets its signal from a network output connector of a
netgear wifi device.

running Vista and Windows Mail. That from the wifi device I mentioned above.

OE attempts to dial up only after your permanent high speed
connection fails to connect with the news server. Successful
connection from the laptop indicates a problem with OE's
configuration on the desktop. Of course Vista Mail is different
so you cannot use its configuration as a template for OE. But
the OE parameters for newsgroups include:

Name of POP3 server
SMTP server
Name of account
User name
email address
Include/exclude this account
/Servers
Account name
password
Secure Authentication login (on or off)
Outgoing Server Requires Authentication (yes or no)
/Advanced
SMTP port = (default or other)
POP port = (default or other)

When you have a good configuration, it helps to
write it down in your record of changes.

Don I tried an individual reply to let you know that I finally got it but my
mailer daemon informed me that that message did not get through so I am
doing a group reply.

Hope this one makes it.

Thank you for responding.

Checking Use any available internet connection made it work.
Interrestingly I now do not see that checkbox, but a message that says
use\ing same connection as Internet Explorer with a change button.
