It is the correct group, indeed :)
news.numericable.fr is the news server of Numericable. I thought that 
the form news://news.numericable.fr/fr.reseaux.internet.cable would be 
clickable in your newsreader (it is in Thunderbird, for example), but if 
it isn't that makes no big difference as you pointed out.

I suggest you subscribe to fr.bienvenue and ask your questions about 
your first visits on fr.* (not France but French speaking) hierarchy on 
fr.bienvenue.questions. There you can find many useful FAQ and a clear 
presentation of fr.* hierarchy, the netiquette and so on. 
http://www.usenet-fr.net/fr-chartes/index.html could also be useful 
(don't forget Wikipedia), and keep in mind that http://groups.google.fr 
is the most comprehensive archive of newsgroups. If you want to proceed 
to a test, fr.test is the right place for that.

Finally, feel free to send me an e-mail if you have further questions, 
and don't be scared if things aren't clear the first time. I remember 
that it took me some weeks, not to say months, before getting really 
used to USENET.

Welcome and best regards :)

PS: You can also read this mailing-list in your newsreader. Point to 
news.gmane.org (not spread across USENET, a single server) and subscribe 
to gmane.linux.ubuntu.user. Much more convenient than emails, IMHO. More 
about gmane at http://www.gmane.org
PPS: fr.comp.os.linux.configuration seems to have some problems these 
days on some servers.
