Usenet news is usually read from your Internet service provider's news

As a guess, the name of the server might be news.yourisp.com.

Some news servers require that you enter a user name and a password.
|
|
It doesn't look like your news server is one of them.
|
|
|
|
Do you want to enter user name and password anyway?
