Howdy. emacs noob, here.
I'm occasionally stuck using a suck XP box instead of my beloved
Slackware. Being a CLI freak, I d/l'd emacs to use gnus. But, so far
no joy. I ran runemacs.exe and even addpm.exe. I also created a
C:\.emacs and C:\.gnus file. In .gnus, I put:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "us.Usenet-News.net"))
I get:
Loading gnus-ml...done
Loading byte-opt...done
Opening nntp server on us.Usenet-News.net...
Denied server
Opening nntp server on us.Usenet-News.net...failed
gnus-select-newsgroup: Couldn't open server
exchange-point-and-mark: No mark set in this buffer
....after showing my newsserver in the stat bar and even offering up
alt.os.linux.slackware newsgroup and I selecting it.
At no time am I promted for a username or password, which my service
requires. I'm reading emacs and news and faqs as fast as I can and have
searched google and groups (to no avail), but sure could use some
advice. Also, is there a good emacs/gnus irc chat room?
Thank you
