Oops! Sorry! 

Try "news" anyway as an NNTP server name: many ISPs have a host called
news or an alias for news pointing to their actual NNTP server. 
Failing that check your ISP website for news groups, Usenet news, or
NNTP setup instructions. 
They may well have instructions for setting up OE to access news
groups; those I've used certainly did.
