Default Unable to get newsgroups on Outlook

When I try to retrieve newsgroups I keep getting a ! window saying
Outlook Express unable to retrieve a list of newsgroups available on
the server news.intergate.com - Details:480 authentication required -
Configuration: news.intergate.com - Server: news.intergate.com

This is a brand new computer with XP Home and Outlook 6.


On a former computer when MSN was my ISP I had virtually the same
exact problem. MSN tech support was completely clueless when I tried
to solve the problem through them. Their final solution was "duh, try
Google".

Why is it seemingly imposable for me to view and post to Usenet except
via Google?
Oh yeah, my webtv had a fantastic newsreader too. So why does Outlook
keep shortchanging me?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Outlook and Outlook Express are different programs.
