Though the application is KDE, this problem is a general one so I ask it here. I tried to export my key to a keyserver via KGpg. But I get the following error: gpg: sending key 4DD98D64 to hkp server wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net gpg: keyserver timed out gpg: keyserver send failed: keyserver error But I goto Konsole and try: samjnaa@linux:~> ping wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net PING wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net (212.55.198.213) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net (212.55.198.213): icmp_seq=1 ttl=52 time=441 ms 64 bytes from wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net (212.55.198.213): icmp_seq=2 ttl=52 time=441 ms 64 bytes from wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net (212.55.198.213): icmp_seq=3 ttl=52 time=441 ms 64 bytes from wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net (212.55.198.213): icmp_seq=4 ttl=52 time=440 ms 64 bytes from wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net (212.55.198.213): icmp_seq=5 ttl=52 time=442 ms 64 bytes from wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net (212.55.198.213): icmp_seq=6 ttl=52 time=442 ms 64 bytes from wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net (212.55.198.213): icmp_seq=7 ttl=52 time=440 ms --- wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net ping statistics --- 7 packets transmitted, 7 received, 0% packet loss, time 6001ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 440.640/441.519/442.540/0.662 ms So the connection is all right.

What makes you so sure the problem is Kgpg, and not the server, as the failure message says? Did you immediately try to export your key directly from gpg, and succeed? That you can ping a site in no way means that any given service is running there, even if you expect it to be. That hostname is a round-robin host ('dig' the host and see, 2 IPs). The particular one your system actually tried may have been doing some work on its keyserver when you tried.

gpg --send-keys --- then what? OK I should read man gpg fully, the online documentation fully, etc. I was thinking that KGpg will take off the command-line difficulties so didn't learn the commandline yet. I'll practise with the pgpusers list and come back here. But the problem is a generic timeout with many applications, not just KGpg, so I started a separate thread - "Problem with net connection - suspect SuSEFirewall". -- (o- Penguin #395953 lives at http://samvit.org //\ subsisting on ancient Indian wisdom ...
