BINGO! or DISCO! (or EUREKA!) Thank you Adam! I think you found the problem!
> Does the hostname "news" resolve on one machine and not on the other? This was the key. The good machine was on the university network, and they probably have a host called news and it does resolve there! The other two computers are on a home network with no host corresponding to news. > > What is the value of the variables gnus-select-method and > gnus-secondary-select-methods? gnus-select method was "news" and secondary was nil (when starting with emacs -Q). > Do you use any news servers?

In my case I guess I should also set gnus-select-method to '(nnnil) right and set the mail servers in the secondary, right? Thank you again! This was very frustrating and was bugging me very much!
