Can someone tell me if you can post messages directly from outlook express,
or if you have to go to the lugnet site to post only.

Yes, you need to set up LUGNET as a news server.

I just found Todd's instructions they are as follows:

Setting up a newsreader

The discussion groups here are handled by an NNTP server, meaning that you can
access them with your favorite newsreader just as you would access your
favorite USENET newsgroups such as rec.toys.lego. The NNTP settings for this
server are:

                                       Add NNTP Server
                                     Server:  lugnet.com
                                         Port:  119


Configuration is straightforward with most newsreaders. If you run into
problems, you may need to get special permission from your system administrator
if you are behind a firewall, or you may need to switch to a newsreader which
supports multiple NNTP servers. You might also want to try port 1119, 8000 or
8080 if you are unable to access using the standard port 119.

Hope this helps you,

Jude
