Have you tried checking your routing table?

Open an xterm and run
/sbin/route -n		This will show you the kernel's routing table
			make sure that you have a default gateway.

0.0.0.0     192.168.1.10    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

			If there is no gateway you have a routing
			problem.  It has been quite a while since I have
			set a route by hand.  Read the man page.

The next two things I would do is check the ifconfig and try to ping google.

/sbin/ifconfig

ping www.google.com
PING www.l.google.com (64.233.169.103) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from yo-in-f103.google.com (64.233.169.103): icmp_seq=1 ttl=242
time=39.8 ms

ping pool.sks-keyservers.net
PING pool.sks-keyservers.net (161.53.2.216) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from gate2.aaiedu.hr (161.53.2.216): icmp_seq=1 ttl=236 time=162 ms

This indicates that the keyserver is up.

Are you running iptables or any firewall that might not allow port 11371
communucation?
