Problem with Paypal connection - Error (28) connect() timed out!

[mc12345678]

In that case...........
telnet api-3t.paypal.com 443
.....is suitable for a go/nogo test, but to be useful it needs to be run from your stores' server. It's pretty safe to assume that unless your localhost (home computer) has its own networking issues that the tests will be positive.

I will search through my available options and see if I can issue a telnet command from my hosts server.
Curious what the results would imply, if the telnet fails, doesn't it mean the same thing as the timeout that we've been getting? Bt I could see if it works, maybe something is taking too long in the process?

Yes. That's why its only useful as a go/nogo test. You'll still need the traceroute output to find where things are being blocked.

Maybe.
