I needed to do this to get it working on 19.30:
(setq gnus-select-method
'(nntp "fbi-news" (nntp-address "fbi-news")))
Substitute your nntp server for fbi-news. A friend didn't need to do
this. Seems to depend on the color of the hair whether you need to do
this or not...
Btw, I'm in no way affiliated with the FBI, the three letters in
"fbi-news" stand for "FachBereich Informatik" (Department for Computer
Science). Just in case you wondered...
