+<answer
+>
+<para
+>Does the <guisubmenu
+>Internet</guisubmenu
+>entry exist? If not, maybe the kdenetwork package isn't installed (perhaps because your distribution possibly doesn't do this for you); if the entry is there, but you do not have a <guimenuitem
+>KNode</guimenuitem
+> item in it, you should try to open a &konsole; and run &knode; from there. Type</para>

+</question
+>
+<answer>
+<para
+>Try to start &knode; from the &konsole; (see previous question) and keep attention for the messages displayed there: if they do not make sense to you mark them with your mouse and copy it to the clipboard; then, ask for help on one of the &kde; mailing lists or &kde; news groups.</para>

+<para
+>My articles do not appear in the newsgroup.</para>
+</question
+>
+<answer

+<question
+>
+<para
+>I want to keep an article; how do I archive it?</para
+>
+</question
+>
+<answer
+>
+<para
+>Choose the article in the article view and then use <menuchoice
+><guimenu
+>File</guimenu
+><guimenuitem
+>Save</guimenuitem
+></menuchoice
+> to open a file dialogue; you can then save the article to a file. Another possibility is to copy the article to a folder.</para>

+<question
+>
+<para
+>Some set headers do not appear for several articles in the article window; am I doing something wrong?</para
+>
+</question
+>
+<answer
+>
+<para
+>This is not unusual because many headers are optional and often not contained in articles; in this case &knode; does not show those header lines.</para

+<question
+>
+<para
+>Sometimes I see an article which refers to other articles but &knode; does not show any references; why is that?</para
+>
+</question
+>
+<answer
+>
+<para
+>This happens when somebody posted an article in another news group and checked the option <guilabel
+>Followup To</guilabel
+>; the article in question is then sent to your news group, but the referring article is absent. In many cases the poster tells the reason for his choice to set a followup.</para>

+<question
+>
+<para
+>When I want to answer an article an error message appears telling me that the external editor could not be started, but the editor is correctly set.</para>
+</question
+>
+<answer
+>
+<para
+>Have a look whether you entered the place-holder for a filename after the editor command; if not, enter it. If you want, for example, to use &kedit; enter <userinput
+><command
+>kedit</command
+><token
+> %f</token
+></userinput
+></para>
+<para
+>If the <token
+>%f</token
+> is absent, your editor cannot be run.</para>

+<question>
+<para
+>Why can I not receive data from my local news server?</para>
+</question
+>
+<answer
+>
+<para
+>If you use &knode; together with with a local news server, you must make sure that this server is correctly set up and started; for further details, please consult the documentation of your local news server.</para>
+<tip
+>
+<para
+>The availability of the local news server can easily be verified with the <command
+>telnet</command
+> program: open a console and type:</para
+>
+
+<screen
+><prompt
+>%</prompt
+> <userinput
+><command
+>telnet</command
+> <parameter
+>localhost nntp</parameter
+></userinput
+>
+</screen>
+
+<para
+>Followed by that, the news server should respond with:</para>
+
+<screen
+><computeroutput>
+Trying 127.0.0.1...
+Connected to localhost.
+Escape character is '^]'.
+200 Leafnode NNTP Daemon, version 1.9.16 running at konqi.org
+</computeroutput
+>
+</screen>
+
+<para
+>You can quit the <command
+>telnet</command
+> session with:</para>
+
+<screen
+><prompt
+>%</prompt
+> <userinput
+>quit</userinput
+>
+</screen>
+
+<para
+>If that does not work there is either no local news server set up or the server was not started; in this case, please consult the documentation of your local news server.</para>
+</tip>
+
+<para
+>If you are trying to connect to a news server on the Internet you need, of course, an open (dial-in) connection and to have set up &knode; to use your <acronym
+>ISP</acronym
+>'s news server; your <acronym
+>ISP</acronym
+> should be able to give you information about which news servers you can use.</para>
