Connect to a different NNTP server. Microsoft is dropping their
microsoft.public.* newsgroups and will eventually kill their NNTP
server. So go connect somewhere else. Microsoft is leaving Usenet.
Usenet is not disappearing because Microsoft left. The
microsoft.public.* newsgroup will continue existing at other NSPs
(newsgroup service providers).
There are many free and paid NSPs, like Albasani, Eternal-September,
AIOE (very flaky), individual.net (cheap at $16USD/yr), and Giganews.
Your own ISP might provide their own NNTP server for newsgroups access
(alas, many ISPs have dropped newsgroups). You can ask in the
alt.free.newsservers group on recommendations for a [free] NSP.
