BINGO! or DISCO! (or EUREKA!)
Thank you Adam! I think you found the problem!
> Does the hostname "news" resolve on one machine and not on the other?
This was the key. The good machine was on the university network, and they
probably have a host called news and it does resolve there! The other two
computers are on a home network with no host corresponding to news.

gnus-select method was "news" and secondary was nil (when starting with emacs
-Q).

I just started using gnus, I want to use it for email (not sure if it is a good
idea, the manual says it will be awesome - if I get the hang of it). In my
case I guess I should also set gnus-select-method to '(nnnil) right and set the
mail servers in the secondary, right?
Thank you again! This was very frustrating and was bugging me very much!
Best regards,
