[Bioperl-l] Example code in Bioperl Tutorial

I do have the internet connection bu not use the proxy server.
I tested the network connection with ping command (below). The ncbi website 
does not response. Is there any special network setting needed for 
connecting the ncbi website?
Thank you so much.

C:\>ping www.yahoo.com

Judging by the output it looks like you have no network access or? can't 
connect to the server (what remoteblast needs).? Make sure you? don't need 
proxy settings.

To preempt the next question, no, I'm not going to explain what a? proxy 
is.? The RemoteBlast docs show how to set them, and Google is a? wonderful 
tool...
