Here is additional information, this was working fine 20 days back and now stopped, I am unable to fix/debug the issue.

Connecting to server, server says: 200 Text.GigaNews.Com
Server responded after user name: 381 more authentication required
Server responded after password: 281 News.GigaNews.Com
Info for microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware at text.giganews.com: 211 19459 1927 21385 microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware

Can we post? server responded: 440 posting not allowed
Posting Message 'Why would one decide to cool a computer with water instead of air ?' from Watercooling. Result: 500 syntax error or unknown command

This isn't a problem with your code. The server you are using isn't liking your login credentials (381 more authentication required) and isn't allowing posting.

Use this free server here and you will be able to post: nntp.aioe.org (Or get your credentials sorted out with giganews).

Also, if that Microsoft feed is your only one, just use one of the Microsoft Public Access servers. They all allow posting and they are free also. msnews.microsoft.com is one such server.
