It sometimes does this when the groups on your list aren't found on the
server. Since most ISPs won't let you have access to their news servers
when you're not on their networks, you're simply stuck. Instead, you'd
need to have alternate group files set up that use your employer's news
servers (if they have any) or some public access server.
