Why do I get prompted for my password when using Newsgroup?
To use the newsgroup service you must be dialed into one of our locations and also must use your
full dial-up username and password. The most common issue that a customer will have is that
they will try using the newsgroups from their office DSL connection or another ISP.
This will not work, the customer will fail to authenticate if they try this.
If you are dialing into one of our locations, and experiencing a problem, try using
"news.safepages.com" as your News Server. If you continue to have an issue,
please inform and provide us with all the information like username, password,
dial-up phone number, etc and we will look further into the issue.
