If I visit (gnus) in Info, and pick the first highlighted "Starting Gnus" link, and then pick the highlighted "Finding the News" link, I see a very clear line on what to put into your .gnus file to name a news server. I guess this Info page doesn't specifically say .gnus, but (a) putting it into .emacs will work fine too and (b) you've been trying to set up Gnus for enough years now that I hope you've found that config file by this point. So if this text is unclear: > For instance, if the `news.somewhere.edu' NNTP server is where you > want to get your daily dosage of news from, you'd say: > > (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.somewhere.edu")) maybe you could suggest some alternate wording? At any rate, please go through some effort to find basic answers yourself, especially when they've been answered to you personally several times over the past several years, and please ask a question only once on the newsgroup.
