hi,

I have the same problem. Is it because I am behind a firewall? But I can
use lynx and wget to access the net.
Is there a way by which I can get gpg to use mail to get the public key
of a person rather than trying to get it thru direct connection? By sending=
 mail to=20
pgp-public-keys@keys.pgp.net for eg.?

Thanks in advance,
Raju
