Maybe the port is blocked?  I think gmane supports several ports.
According to my init.el, I have had good results with 563.

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
               '(nntp "gmane"
                      (nntp-address "news.gmane.org")
                      (nntp-connection-timeout 5)
                      (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-ssl-stream)
                      (nntp-port-number 563)))
