The best way is using a Usenet (newsgroups) client like Thunderbird. You have to configure the
client to point to a Usenet server, and typically you will need to register an account with that
server. Then you can run Thunderbird, connect to the server, and request the list of groups hosted
on that server (groups like sci.math, comp.lang.c, whatever). You select the groups to which you
wish to subscribe and click a "subscribe" button. The group will appear under your subscribed
groups, the when you click that groupit will download the latest articles from the group and you can
read them or post responses etc.. Wikipedia also has a list somewhere of newsreader clients you
could use if for some reason you don't like Thunderbird, but Thunderbird should work if properly
installed and configured.

Most likely you have not sorted out your Usenet server? Wikipedia has a list of such servers,
including a number of free servers. Typically you may need to go to that server's web page first,
to register an account, even if the server is free. The web page for the server will also give you
the details on how to configer your newsreader client to access the server - you need to enter the
settings like the DNS name for the server, what port number it uses, whether the communication is
encrypted, and whether a userid/pwd needs to be provided.

Several users here use Thunderbird, so that shouldn't be a problem. Eternal September is one free
server that some people here use, and that combined with Thunderbird should all work fine for you...
(Alternatively, some ISPs provide their own Usenet server for customers, as part of their ISP
package, although that's not so common these days...)

Google is due to break all links with Usenet groups some time in February, so you need to get the
above sorted by then, or you won't be able to post to ANY Usenet groups any more! (Some Google
Groups are internal to GG, i.e. not Usenet groups, so if you use any of those they should not be
affected.)

Mike.

I only found a [Newsgroups] button where I can reasonably type " www.eternal-september.org" but not accepted
by Thunderbird. I think Thunderbird in Window and Linux are different. So, what should I do?

Thanks in advance.

You may have to enter your eternal-september username and password into
your Thunderbird configuration. If it doesn't have that, you can only
access local to eternal-september groups, not Usenet.

or combined with news.solani.org

An easy alternative is NEMO: http://news2.nemoweb.net/?DataID=4hzp9Daj5sADdYP13wKm8YF7Hko@jntp Here you
need no combination and no installation.

news.eternal-september.org

6. Enter the name of the newsgroup server: news.eternal-september.org

Step 6 says entering "news.eternal-september.org". But my Thunderbird accepts anything except exactly "news.eternal-september.org"

Did you start to configure an account using news.eternal-september.org?
If so either complete it or delete it. I think thunderbird doesn't allow
two accounts to the same server.

Yes, I should have successfully registered an account from eternal-septermber.

Now I managed to have a [Subscribe] popup window available. but the contents are all like:

.etenal-september.info
.etenal-september...
.etenal-september...
.etenal-september...
.etenal-september...
.etenal-september...

...

In short, I still can't subscribe to comp.lang.c (for example) or other comp... newsgroup.

That is a FAQ mentioned on www.eternal-september.org .

Yes, thanks. that made a progress. Now, I can click the [New Group] button in the [Subscribe] popup window.
Some tree-structured items shown. But, among those limited few. The thing I am interested looks like:
+comp
.+comp.lang
..+comp.lang.go [check box]

It seems I can only select comp.lang.go. I want more, at least comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++,..
(By the way, I clicked the check box for comp.lang.go. Nothing happen. Is that group dead? or else, I don't know)

It looks as though by clicking New Group you are
accessing just the groups that have been added
recently, not old ones such as comp.lang.c .

Under News Account, click on Manage Newsgroup Subscriptions,
then on Current Group List (not New Group). Then
click on Refresh and the latest group list will be
downloaded (now that you have Always Authenticate checked).
