 * For some reason when I use posts_nav_link, I keep getting the same posts and 
   it won’t show the older, or new posts.
 * Is it a problem that I am using `<?php query_posts('category_name=news'); ?>`
   before The Loop?

 * You need to add some additional code to resolve that.
 * Change your query posts to this
 *     ```
       <?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
             query_posts("category_name=news&paged=$paged"); ?>
       ```
   
 * make sure you have double quotes around the query_posts parameters
