I use it every day, using server address news.gmane.org. Sorry, but I 
have no idea why it's not working for you. I happen to use MT 
Newswatcher, but don't see why HogWasher would have any problem with 
it -- unless it wants just plain news.gmane.org (without the leading 
nntp://) or if you misspelled something in the address.
