http://pgp.mit.edu/faq.html 7. I can't look up keys on the keyserver, and may be seeing the error "connection timed out." However, I can read this FAQ. The usual cause for this is that your machine is behind a firewall that is blocking traffic (on port 11371) to the keyserver. Please try using the email interface. You've mentioned before that the library blocks various ports. They likely have a default-deny rule.
