I think you are just missing some vital Gnus settings. The error you
get suggests it is trying to connect to a news server called "news"
when it needs to be connecting to "news.individual.net".
Another hint is that your .gnus said nothing about servers. You'd
need something like...
(setq
gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.individual.net"))
I'm extremely sorry! I've checked but my .emacs... thus init.el file, so
putting
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.individual.net"))
(setq user-mail-address "emres(a)bilgi.edu.tr")
(setq user-full-name "Emre Sevinc")
evaluating them and then M-x gnus worked without problems.
Thank you for drawing my attention.
