When you open an Easynews account, Easynews supplies you with the
details you need to configure your newsreader software. Just enter those
and away you go.

I note from the headers on your post that you have come via Google
Groups. This probably means that you are not currently using newsreader
software, but a web browser. That's the first step. Your ISP can almost
certainly tell you how to set up Outlook Express to read newsgroups, if
it offers access - but there are other programs that make using
newsgroups much easier. You've got a bit of a learning curve ahead.
