When I started testing, my batch job would do like yours, just sit there until it exceeded the timeout value. I tried the debugging options that Larry talked about but that didn't shed any light on my particular problem. Finally talked to the network guy and he traced my stuff through the firewall. He saw my stuff going out over port 21 but the response was coming back over a different port. I think (I'm network impaired) he put in some sort of a firewall rule that allowed the response from that particular host to come back over a different port than 21.
