A very typical problem. Good you sent the error message.
This problem can be caused due to one of the following-
1. I have faced similar problem due to local firewall settings.
2. Try some other domain; i.e. other than google com. Try some of the local
area website with a particular page like www.somedomain.com/somefile.html
3. Some times the remote host does not allow you to connect to get the file
contents.
4. # 3 can be either way round from both the ends a) you host server does
not allow external connections b) Remote host does not allow anonymous
connection.
Hope this helps..
