As Richard pointed out, this is a news-group not a server. Gmane is a
free server, which can be used w/o registrations.
(setq gnus-select-method
'(nntp "Gmane"
(nntp-address "news.gmane.org")))
Here is something to get you started.
;; start gnus
M-x gnus RET
;; Group buffer -> Server buffer
^
;; move point to news.gmane.org and press
RET
;; search gmane.emacs.bugs and press
u
;; quit server buffer
qq
;; update Group buffer
g
;; move point to news.gmane.org
;; read last 1000 articles
C-u 1000 RET
-ap
