Client configuration issue? The keys are out there on the servers. Which
server(s) are you searching? Is that server online?
Does gpg --search-keys work from the command line? Does gpg --recv-keys?

Which keys of mine can you not retrieve? I normally sign with two. Currently
they are 0xD6569825 and 0x435BD034.

_ALL_ of the keys I use publicly are available on the SKS keyservers. I also
know those of Grant's are also available as I recently updated them with gpg
--refresh-key.

You may wish^W^W need to check your keyserver configuration. It obviously has a
problem.
