If your server is one that uses authinfo, you might try the following:
Put the following in you .emacs

(setq nntp-server-list-active-group nil)

I was having similar problems to you, and only that fixed it (this was
on giganews).  In particular, adding force yes to the right line of
the authinfo file didn't fix it.
