Microsoft Communities

When ever I am trying to connect for MS Communities this error message is
coming:

Unable to connect to the server

Configuration:

Account : Microsoft Communities
Server: msnews.microsoft.com
Protocol: NNTP
Port : 119
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 800ccc0e



Can any body help me to resolve this?

Could be a firewall issue. Which firewall are you using?

Windows Firewall is definitely compatible.
The only other suggestion I have is to do a trial uninstall of your
antivirus program, to see if that helps.
