is your upstream on a private address? That is, is the
machine at 192.168.9.44 a real news server which exchanges
articles with the rest of the world (or an interesting subset)?

Well, under normal conditions you should not need to interfere with
the contents of /var/spool/news/interesting.groups at all. In any
case, the files in that directory shuld all have names which equal the
complete names of the news groups you read.
Here's what mine looks like:
tosh:/home/peter# su news
tosh:/home/peter$ cd
tosh:~$ cd interesting.groups/
tosh:~/interesting.groups$ ls -l

It's hard to be really sure, but your problem *could* be the lack of
an upstream news server.
