Hi there. Long-time reader, first time poster!
I searched for an answer on this but couldn't find anything. I sometimes read the newsgroups on news.virginmedia.com. This works fine from my home connection. Since you don't need a username or password, I assume Virgin authenticate by IP address or something similar to this.
Away from my home connection I can't log-in since I'm no longer on Virgin's network. I was wondering if it's still possible to access the newsgroups e.g. by authenticating with a Virgin email and password? I've tried my old blueyonder username and password but this didn't work. Is the only way around this to use a different (non-Virgin) server?
Many thanks!
