You haven't yet set up a newsgroup account, have you? On Windows, click "Tools -> Account Settings..." then (after checking that there isn't yet an account for the server you want to use), click the "New" button near bottom left. You'll be taken through several pages of settings, after what, if they are set up correctly, you ought to be able to subscribe to the newsgroups available at that server. Alternately, if you did create a newsgroup account, then maybe one or more of its settings are in error? Open the Account Settings just like above, then click successively on the server name (in the left pane) and on each of its subheadings, and check all the settings in those various settings pages. A single typo in the server address (such as news.mizilla.org instead of news.mozilla.org, or smnews.microsoft.com instead of msnews.microsoft.com) can be enough to prevent you from connecting, so double-check everything. If you find and correct the error, you ought to be able to subscribe to newsgoups from the main (three-pane) window, either by left-clicking the server name in the left pane, then "Manage Subscriptions" in the right one, or by right-clicking the server name, then Subscribe...
