Whatsup I am new to newsgroup but not to this board whatup everybody but I'm trying to try this stuff out when i use a server it wont connect with any program I have used. (Agent,GrabIt) and I have a newsserver from my ISP news.det.sbcglobal.net I thought i might have been puttin in the wrong password so I tried the free server (yottanews.com) and it doesn't connect either what could be the problem.

If you have GrabIt setup gor YottaNews then it should look like the attchment below. As for dsl news server Ive yet to find one that had usenet service worth using.Some dont have any binarie groups and those that do have very low retention if any. Also when using TottaNews keep in mind that their retention isnt all that great and when testing use recent articles...

I know YottaNews really blows at times and dosent connect for some reason. I also just noticed in screenshot I have 8 plugs open and YottaNews only allows 1 so you should try and chamge that. Only other thing that comes to mind now is a reinstall of GrabIt perhaps...

I have reinstalled GrabIt a couple of times and tried the Agent client and by plugs I think u mean connections if so then mine is setup the exact same way. I guess I wasn't meant to use this :(

Hell...try Xnews...never had any issues out of them, although it sounds like a larger problem on your side.
