Tools-->Account_Settings-->news.ono.com-->Server_Settings.
Check mark "Always request authentication..."

Hi folks.

I have 3 NNTP accounts:
  Acoount 1: news.mozilla.org,
  Account 2: support-forums.novell.com
  Account 3: a subscription news service provider (NTTPS + authentication)

Every account works fine.

Now, I want to setup a new NTTP account for my ISP. In this account 
(news.ono.com), I am supposed to login with username/password, as with 
account 3. Account 3 works fine, since server respond to  the client (TB 
2.0.0.12 openSUSE 10.3) with an authentication request and TB shows a 
login dialog. But with this new account, there is no login dialog. When 
I try to get group list in subscribe dialog, I get an error message 
saying "502 Permission Denied - Permission  news.ono.com Excluside 
access for ONO customers (Twister v2.1.1.371)".

Is there any way to force TB to provide authentication info even if NNTP 
server does not request it?

Still not working. No login prompt to connect to this NNTP server.

Same error over here (and (I'm not from Spain).
You may have to send them a mail to include your IP-address in their 
allowed range.

Unfortunately, this ISP only provides fixed IP addresses to companies, 
so my IP address is dynamic. On the other hand, their customer service 
is not trained in technical matters.
