Usenet news is usually read from your Internet service prodider's news
server.  If you don't know the name of this server, contact your ISP.

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?

and a password:
