    can't access newsgroups

    hello, happy holidays

    for some unkown reason I can't access any of my groups, I'm using Forte FreeAgent as a newsreader and suddenly I have started getting an error message that says error 480 authentication required, has something happened to usenet that you need something or have to change your configuation to read & see your newsgroups now?

    Thanks for helping

    Save 20% on AVG Internet Security 2012 Suite!
    This is one idea of many:
    The server has probably added a logon requirement. Many ISPs are very poor at notifying customers of changes.


    Go to Tools | Accounts and double click the account.
    On the server tab check This server requires me to logon and fill in your email account name and password.
