This is very similar to my problem guys

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/35294

and if you read in that post it says that once the wordpress RSS feed was added to the servers firewall safe list, the problem was fixed.. ?

what address is the WP RSS feed
and what address is the technorati server that I should get my host to add to the safe list?

Dashboard works fine
as in, all the links and everything work
but the wordpress news RSS and technorati incoming links simply dont show up (for a new install),

so it seems like it is unable to query outside websites for info,

i have installed WP 2.1 on another server and this problem does not occur, so there is obviously something blocking it from accessing the RSS feed and technorati’s ranking.. but what could this be?

what “function” does wordpress use to talk to its RSS feed and technorati? What should I tell my host?
