This message is being brought up by your newsgroup client.  Some more
information is needed to work out what the problem is, such as:
  - what OS (breed and version) you're running
  - what newsgroup client program you're using and its version number
  - who your ISP is
  - what you have your NNTP (News) server set to.

others you should be able to access them.
