Your article leaves many open questions: Which newsserver did you install, what do you mean with "I installed the news server_s_"? You don't need more than one. Can you use UUCP or do you have to use NNTP? With the few groups you want to get, wouldn't slrnpull be an option? If you don't like slrn, then probably not but then maybe leafnode could be used instead of a full blown newsserver? What you have to do next is basically create the groups locally on your system and tell your computer to fetch articles from your ISP's newsserver.
