[Bioperl-l] Bio_Tools_Run_RemoteBlast error: 500 Can't connect to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:80

Actually, your user agent indicated you are using 1.5.2:

>> User-Agent: bioperl-Bio_Tools_Run_RemoteBlast/1.005002102

Also, the BLAST URL is the latest one (I changed it late last year;  
bioperl-1.4 is 4 years old so and didn't have this update).

I would try Martin's suggestion of using ping and let us know what  
happens.
