I absolutely hate replying to my own posts but I'm making an exception
in this instance as I would really love to be able to access newsgroups
from within emacs.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong OR how I could diagnose the problem?
Quoting from my previous message and topic starter:

Hello,
I can't get emacs gnus to list any newsgroups when I fire it up.
This is what I do:
M-x gnus
<enter username when asked>
<enter password when asked>
Then, when it loads up, I get a blank *Group* screen and the "No more
unread newsgroups" message.
Then attempting to retrieve the full group list from the server using A
A results in the error message "Cannot read active file from nntp server".
The only settings I added to my .emacs file are:
;; Setup NNTP newsgroups
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "eunews.blocknews.net"))
(setq gnus-read-active-file nil)
