First, have you refreshed your group list recently?  Try refresh group 
list (under the group menu).  See if that allows pan to see the group on 
that server.

Meanwhile, from the above you seem to have gotten at least part of the 
following but maybe missed something so it's worth going back through the 
steps to verify.  In pan, server posted to is part of the posting profile, 
which is set for individual groups in group preferences.  So to post to a 
different server, if necessary, first create a new posting profile with 
the appropriate server chosen, then edit the group preferences and point 
it at the appropriate default profile.  Of course for an individual post 
you can then choose a posting profile (and thus posting server) other than 
the default for that group, if you like.

If pan's still saying the group isn't on your server of choice after both 
the group-refresh and double-checking the posting profile setup it's 
possible you may have to edit something manually, but we can deal with 
that if we get to it.
