There's no specific server, it's a distributed system (NNTP).

You need /a/ server.

Your ISP probably provides one (you could just try the name "news"), and if not,
there are both free and pay-for news servers.

See above. But to answer that literally, for your ISP's server you could try


V:\test> nslookup news

Server: ns3.eunet.no
Address: 193.75.75.75

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: news.eunet.no
Address: 216.168.3.44
Aliases: news.bluecom.no


Of course the address for /your/ ISP will be different, or non-existent
(indication that your ISP does not provide a news server: it doesn't seem that
"news.airtel.in" exists).


Cheers, & hth.,
