If you encounter a "480 authentication required" error while attempting to connect to UsenetServer, it indicates that your newsreader software isn't configured to transmit your username and password to our servers. All accounts require that you log in with the correct credentials.

Please review your newsreader's settings to confirm that your UsenetServer username and password are correctly entered for server connections.​ Check the Newsreader Setup Guide for your particular newsreader for instructions on how to do that.
