I don't have a screen capture utility installed (a company no-no). But here is a sample setting for a newsgroup:

Newsgroup/Mailing list E-mail  		[alt.pandas              ]
Forum 	                                [-- Pandas Forum         ] <- vBulletin Forum
Prefix 					[                        ]
Last Message 	                        [                        ]
Server 	                                [news.yournewsserver.com ]
User name (only if required) 	        [your_user_name_here     ]
Password (only if required) 	        [your_password_here      ]
Enter 'use_real_email' if you want the  [                        ] <- I leave blank
posts to use the real email addresses.
Enter 'My Name <myemail@a_domain.com>' if you want all the posts use this name and email.
Please leave this empty if unsure!!! 	
Enabled 	                        Yes No                     <- Your choice

Except to change URLs to reflect our own site, we have used the defaults in the gateway settings except perhaps the following (set to 1 or zero):

Override useragent and organization checks to import absolutely everything from USENET. 1 = Full Import from oldest existing message, 0 = Ignore and start at next message.
Full import from USENET full_import_from_usenet 0

Use the email address to associate postings with the corresponding vBulletin user.
Associate by Email associate_by_email 1

Skip the message if the message has the X-No-Archive header set to yes. Google Group honours this Non-standard header. Set to 1 to honour. 0 to ignore.
Honour No-Archive honor_no-archive 0 [Edit]

When it is set to 1, no signatures will be sent with posts. When it is set to 0, users' signature selection at post is honoured.
Send no signature nosignature 1 [Edit]

Set to 1 : no profile/view thread footer will be sent. Set to 0 : attach user profile and view forum thread footer with each message posted.
Send no footer nofooter 1

Default = 0. Set to 1 : Time stamp for imported messages use the original post time. Set to 0 : Time stamp uses the time when the messages is imported
Use Post Time use_post_time 1

The vb scheduler looks like:

Varname  			gateway_varname
Title [Translations] 		NNTP Gateway
Description [Translations] 	Usenet newsgroups gateway mailer.
Log Phrase [Translations] 	NNTP Gateway
Day of the Week (Note: this     *
overrides the 'day of the 
month' option) 	
	
Day of the Month 		*
	
Hour 				*
	
Minute 				30 - - - - -
	
Active 				yes
Yes No
	
Log Entries 			no		
Yes No
	
Filename			./gateway.php 	
	
Product 			vBulletin	

I hope the above helps. We are only importing newsgroups so we haven't tried binaries or mailinglists.

Regards. -- Rik

ps: Sorry, the gateway options order above may be different as we may have sorted them.
