I have been doing this very same operation with Mozilla newsreader many
many times. It is very simple: Just install Mozilla (or maybe
Thunderbird, if You like) to all your computers (in work, home, etc.)
and use newsreader as usual but when You go to another computer copy the
rc -file from the location (this is default location in XP):

C:\Documents and Settings\...username...\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\..some numbers and letters... \news\ (here
You will find a file which has name like 'news.indivual.net.rc' (You
probably have another newserver name but anyway the file ends with '.rc')

copy this file to another computer into the suchlike folder. That's it.

I use my (free) website server to move that file from a comp to another.
You can also send it as an e-mail attachment to yourself.

You're welcome. I faced a similar problem recently, for a friend that wanted
to read a Brazilian news server, without installing newsreader (he's unable to
install stuff at work)
