	As the other reply mentioned, it's just Port 80.  But
we made a bonehead move recently and with Chris's help we
determined that an internal firewall was blocking the IP
for RulesEmporium.com that RDJ needs to pull the updated 
files.  We use both an external and internal firewall, the
IP blocks were on the internal and hadn't been moved to 
the external - thus we kept getting RDJ errors from the 
cronjob on overnight runs.

	Ping and traceroute the RulesEmp domain and ensure
you can get responses.  If not, check that you've blocked
one or more points of the path to that domain as it takes
some weird hops from certain locations!  If all that's 
clear, you can ping & traceroute to it and you still get
errors, you'll need to provide more detail here for a 
better resolution.
