usenet info

[#1]

hey guys,
I'm trying to get usenet to function via GrabIT and have come across a few problems:
- server(s) tried: news.plus.net / usenet.plus.net
When i'm trying to login I am presented with a 502 - Access Denied @ Auth Server.  I've tried both my username and username@plusdsl.net.
I can't seem to pinpoint the problem, is this something to do with the package I'm on? (ADSL HomeSurf ) My connections page seems to list the usenet server (usenet.plus.net)
thanks in advance

Hi,
Try using news.plus.net but connecting without authentication (ie without a username and password) - it should all be IP based.
Hope that helps.
