It does
connect, eventually, but takes about a minute or two.  My guess is that
it's trying to do an auth request to my machine, but my firewall is
blocking the request, causing the server to time out.  Just curious -
are you behind a firewall?

Yes, I am behind a "NAT box" server.  I have the same symptoms as you.
NNTP will eventually connect.  If i scan through the messages I  have no
problem (once in the system) but If I take  too long to read one message
I have to wait all over again to get to the next message.
