Linkpoint doesn't connect

[jmeldrich]

When I complete step 3 in the checkout process, Linkpoint stalls for a few minutes and sends me this error information:

I've requested from my Host a cURL proxy address but the support guy replied with this statement:

I'm unsure why you need curl proxy. Curl is to send encrypted information to the script, and it's a command. Please check the vendor's manual for more info.

The manual doesn't have anymore info. I need some assistance in getting this thing configured.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Ask your host to verify that port 1129 is open through the firewall ... because the Linkpoint module must communicate on port 1129.
