That's the first thing I tried when having these problems. No luck:

nntp-connection-timeout's value is nil
  -- a variable declared in Lisp.

Documentation:
*Number of seconds to wait before an nntp connection times out.
If this variable is nil, which is the default, no timers are set.



nntp-command-timeout's value is nil
  -- a variable declared in Lisp.

Documentation:
*Number of seconds to wait for a response when sending a command.
If this variable is nil, which is the default, no timers are set.
