>"host not found" perhaps a firewall problem,

Check to make sure you can resolve DNS.
PING www.weverviceX.net

Even if the ping can't reach anything, you should see something like this.
Verifying connection to host system WWW.WEBSERVICEX.NET at address
209.162.186.60.
The 209.162.186.60 is the important part.

Port 80 is standard (the traffic is HTTP protocol). I think all the examples
use port 80 (there might be some using https so 443 for those), but you can
use other ports. In addition, Scott has been working on proxy support. So,
it might be possible to use your proxy.
