Most peculiar. Try rearranging the order on the command line (put the
key ID last). I just tried the opposite (to sending), fetching that
key. Obviously it'll fail to get *that* key, because it's not on the
server, but I expect a gpg error message that makes sense.
This failed stupidly for me:
[tim@gonzales ~]$ gpg --recv-keys E35924AA --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net
gpg: "--keyserver" not a key ID: skipping
gpg: "hkp://subkeys.pgp.net" not a key ID: skipping
gpg: no keyserver known (use option --keyserver)
gpg: keyserver receive failed: bad URI
It didn't use the keyserver address as server address, but as the key to
retreive.
This failed sensibly for me:
[tim@gonzales ~]$ gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys E35924AA
gpg: requesting key E35924AA from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net
gpgkeys: key E35924AA not found on keyserver
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
It connected, but there wasn't *that* key on their server. If that key
was there, it would have worked.
Have a go at retreiving a key from the server, to see if that side of
things works.

You don't have to be, *they're* offering it as a communication protocol
to use the keyserver. Give it a try.

I think you might have to send us a copy of your gpg.conf file, but
remove anything private FIRST (also leave a comment so we can see where
you've done that).

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
