Well, assuming your OS is windows, I suggest downloading a standalone newsreader like one of these rather then using a newsreader built into your browser (if there is one):

http://www.forteinc.com/agent/index.php
http://xnews.3dnews.net/

Then you need to hunt down your isp's newsserver. Usually it's called news.ispname.com or whatever. They'll usually be a FAQ telling you this. Then you add the newsserver to your newsreader. Then just subscribe. *grin*

Luck!
