In your newsreader, find the menu that you use to subscribe to a
newsgroup. It should have a "filter box", a space into which you type a
keyword such as "garden". Then the display should show all the
newsgroups with "garden" in their names.

However, no ISP provides access to all the newgroups available, so if
you can't see the one you want listed, that means your ISP just doesn't
carry it. In that case, you will have to subscribe to a service such as
Giganews, which gives you access to all newsgroups out there - at a
price, of course. Or change ISPs.

Sockiescat, google groups doesn't carry groups with binaries (i.e., non-text
newsgroups). These newsgroups take up a great deal of space, as one picture
is indeed worth a thousand words. Further, I believe that most of the
alt.binaries.* hierarchy is made up of pornography, so many other ISPs will
refuse to carry these newsgroups.

You can find out if your own ISP carries the binaries newsgroups. If you are
using a windows machine, you have Outlook Express right there to be able to
view newsgroups. Or there are other ones for free on the web - just search
on "free newsreaders" and see what comes up. Or you can plead with those who
post to alt.binaries.pictures.gardens to post their pictures to a website.

Hope this was helpful.

If you can't link to it, that means your news feed
provider doesn't carry that newsgroup. If that's the case, ask kindly
and maybe they'll start it just for you!!

Welcome to the large world of Usenet, the net before the internet ;0)

If you have followed the advice given before me and still have no luck,
then today's your luck day. You need a news server that carry "binaries",
and it's hard to find free ones now'adays. Depending on which news reader
that your using ( _not_ a web browser), configuring a news server will
differ. If you need help with that, I'm sure one of us around here can
help you with that.

Free news servers addresses:

128.230.129.222
128.230.129.223

These have binaries, do not allow posting and they are rather slow but
free is free at any speed..!

It appears his news server doesn't carry binary groups. He'll have to
get a usenet provider that does.

I have a higher speed than dsl and connected just fine! Maybe Syracuse
University doesn't like your connection...? Just kiding... don't know what
your problem could be. Try again.

Ask your ISP how to set-up your newsreader.

Hi Sock -- Use above, either click on it or paste it into your browser.
It's not as convenient as 'joining' a newsgroup but it will let
you view Maddy's crocus pics.
