You probably do not have reverse DNS configured properly. Many sites will
not allow you to connect if the in-addr.arpa PTR record is not in place
for your system.
Can you connect to ftp.uu.net ???
If not, what IP address are you using? Try using an external nameserver
and doing an nslookup of that IP address, if it does not return a
hostname, that is probably your problem.
