Paypal IPN call - fsockopen timeout

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to www.paypal.com:443 (Connection timed out)

This has worked previously? And suddenly has stopped working. Any ideas?

This is the call:

$fp = fsockopen ('www.paypal.com', 443, $errno, $errstr, 30);

Thanks for any help

According to the error your system is providing, it's timing out on the outbound connection, are you currently able to connect to www.paypal.com on port 443 though something like telnet?

Running something like: telnet www.paypal.com 443 from the local box should show if it's connecting. I strongly suspect that something is blocking port 443 outbound, which is causing your issue, as it's unlikely that PayPal would block you for use of their IPN services.
