   I've just installed Wordpress 2.0.4 and cant get pingback to work (trackback does)
   My hosting company (sheared server)are wondering if its because they block port 80...could this be a problem?

   Yes, it is. The trackback is an outbound connection on port 80. I would see if they could allow it for your account.

   Um, 2.0.4? You do know that there are much newer versions, right?

   Ok - thanks - yeah I did know about version - but my hosting company www.heartinternet has a one-click install version which happens to be 2.0.4!

   Okay, this seems to be a problem with all Heart Internet Shared Hosting Servers - I too am getting the same problem.
   For more information please read my blog article here:

   What a headache this is causing me!
