I've similar problems. My local newsserver drops connection after 12
hours of inactivity. Gnus should recognize that this happened and send
authinfo one more time before getting the group counts, but it just
hangs, closing the connection to the server and reopening it then helps
me in those cases.

Perhaps something similar is biting you?
