I preformed the following operation:

$socket = fsockopen('ws.geonames.org', 80, $errno, $errstr);

And I got the following error:

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to ws.geonames.org:80 (Unknown error)

What am I doing wrong?

- does the same call work for other domains?
- can you access the domain with other access methods (ping, wget etc). There could be an issue with your dns system, with your firewall or your ip address could be blocked by geonames.org
