Doesn't  this need to be the fully qualified server name (e.g.,
"news.ingebrigtsen.no" or "nntp.ingebrigtsen.no")?  Without the
correct server name, Gnus will not be able to query the server.

Here's my .gnus, slightly munged to protect the innocent:

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.bitstream.net"))

(setq user-full-name "Tim McNamara")
(setq user-mail-address "timmcn@bitstream.net")

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))
(eval-after-load "mail-source"
 '(add-to-list 'mail-sources '(pop :server "mymailserver"
                                   :user "mysername"
                                   :password "mypassword")))
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mymailerver")

Hope this helps!
