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:

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.
