There is no way for use to tell as you haven't given us any information such as your isp.

Most news servers will follow a similar naming convention though. Something like news.yourISP.com or nntp.yourISP.com

If neither one works contact your provider or visit their web page. You should be able to find the information.

Also keep in mind not all isp's have news servers.
