New laptop with Vista. I'm the admin, only account. Trying to set up
newsgroups from my news server, which requires me to log on. All is set up
OK in the account screens. When I try to initially download the
newsgroups on the server, up pops a Windows security notice, asking me to
log on to the newsgroups server- "verify that both username and password
are correct for
your mail server". After I enter user name and password, and click OK,
the screen keeps popping up asking for same prompt. I am giving it the
correct
info, but will not accept, so can't begin to download newsgroups.
Whatever I enter will change what's in the account screen for the server
setup. Tried turning all the windows security options off that I could
find, but still can't get past the security screen. Any advice on this?
Which newsgroups and which NNTP server? If you are talking about one
provided by your ISP, then go to the ISP's website and double-check what
authorization is needed. It sounds like you aren't using the correct
information. For instance, my ISP (Comcast) uses a different authentication
for newsgroups than for email.
It would also help if you told us what newsreader you're using (Windows
Mail, Thunderbird, etc.).
