I am running GnuPG 2.1.2 on Windows 10, using the pre-compiled
binaries. Keyserver lookup keeps failing for me as follows:-

>gpg -v --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 0x251BCCEB547B7194
gpg: using character set 'utf-8'
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available



>gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr "keyserver --hosttable" /bye
S # hosttable (idx, ipv6, ipv4, dead, name, time):
S #   0     d pool.sks-keyservers.net  (14m50s)
OK




I tried pinging pool.sks-keyservers.net:-

>ping -6 pool.sks-keyservers.net
