I'm having the same trouble as the OP (exact same error message). Trapping
the call to wget (I already have mm-url-use-external set to t), I see that
the command line it is passed is:
wget -q -O - 'http://groups.google.com/groups?q=group%3Agnu.emacs.gnus&num=100&hq=&hl=&lr=&safe=off&sites=groups'
(quoting may be off b/c of the way I catch the args)
and google replies with:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Forbidden</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY><H1>Forbidden</H1>
Your client from the IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx does not have permission to get
URL
/groups?q=group%3Agnu.emacs.gnus&num=100&hq=&hl=&lr=&safe=off&sites=groups
from this server.<BR><BR>Please see Google's Terms of Service posted at

(linebreaking may be slightly off, this is an X copy/paste).
Google's TOS prohibits "offline searches", though they don't define what
that means. But SZ's ability to use google probably means that google isn't
blocking this on purpose (?). Any ideas what's causing this? Could it be
that google blocks certain IP blocks for some reason? (I can search google
via a webbrowser just fine from this IP).
