without proper configuration.

Hmm, why should it? It's a news server, so it should listen on the
nntp port for incoming connections. A client should open a connection
to the nntp port to speak with the server.
(I don't know inn*/wether innd is expected to connect to the port.)

Hmm. Try to connect to your nntp port - is innd running?
