Netscape 7.1 Problem

I keep getting asked for my password for access to the newsgroups

The symptoms of this problem is every time you connect to the newsserver or a newgroup, you are prompted to enter you username and password. This can definitely become an inconvenience after a while.

This behaviour is controlled by the password settings in Netscape. If you want to avoid this, then follow this process:

1. Start Netscape.

2. From the Edit menu, choose Prefernces.

3. The preferences window will appear. In the Privacy & Security section, select Passwords.

4. Ensure that the Remember Passwords box is checked.

5. Now you will only be prompted the next time you connect to the newsgroup. Enter your password and check the Use Password Manager to remember this value. You will only have to do this once for each newsgroup you have subscribed to.

1.	Start Netscape.
2.	From the *Edit* menu, choose *Prefernces*.
