sending and receiving keys

[Bobby]

Hi again,

Whenever I try to send or receive a key from search.keyserver.net I get an
error:

gpg --keyserver search.keyserver.net --recv-key 0x12345678
gpg: requesting key 12345678 from search.keyserver.net ...
gpg: [fd 5]: read error: Connection reset by peer
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0

However when I try to receive from pgpkeys.mit.edu it works fine:

gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 0x12345678
gpg: requesting key 12345678 from pgpkeys.mit.edu ...
gpg: key 12345678: public key imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1

What am I doing wrong here?

PS: Plese CC me.

Thank you.
