News Setup Problems in Vista 64

[Condry]

I have a new Vista 64 system, but I cannot get news to work correctly.
Everthing used to work on Windows XP Professional just fine; the only change
is the new system with Vista.

I normally use the news tool NewsBin, so I downloaded the Vista 64 version.
I kept getting authenicticaion errors and no connections. Here we tested my
login, password and their ISP address using Telnet and it worked fine.

I tried using the Outlook 2007 News, setting up the same server. The
behavior is strange. Looks like the server looks setup fine with the "This
server requires me to login" checked and the correct ISP login/password
(checking for basic errors like a space etc.). Instead connected to the
newsserver I get a request for user/password. I even tried to type in the
correct user/password but that did not work either, always getting a 480
error. After that it erases my login/password in the server information.

Any idea why my user/password is not already there? and why it erases the
server data?

Anyone tried NewsBin on Vista 64 and got it to work ok?

I have tested 3 newsreaders.

Sites with no permissions work fine.

Sites with user/password fail in all cases.

Tested the user/password with telnet -- work fine!

This has to be some new vista permissions issue.

Can anyone help me track it down?
