Thanks very much for the reply. Unfortunately, the two commands you suggested both give the same error, which I set out below.
ERROR: Unable to mount service for 'http://open-carpet.org': Unable to download service info: IO error - Soup error: Bad Request (400)
Hmmm. Can you ping the site open-carpet.org at all? Or get to it with a web browser? You are online when you run those commands, right?
Yes, I have no problem pinging open-carpet.org nor reaching the web site. We have a DSL connection, so I am always online. We use a machine on the internal network as a proxy, but /etc/ximian/rcd.conf does contain the line
proxy=http://192.168.1.1:3128
which is correct.
I am behind an ipcop firewall. Does rug use a special port that perhaps is blocked by the default configuration of the firewall? I don't know how rug communicates, looking at the man pages it implies http, and I have heard of Soup, but knowing nothing about it.

A bit of a mystery. Thanks for your efforts.
I don't know what to think, but have a look in /var/log/messages and see if it produces a more informative error message there.
