WordPress.com Stats & WordPress IP

Hi Friends!!

I’m trying to activate the plugin: WordPress.com Stats. I have my own WordPress blog resident in an independent hosting. I’ve got a WordPress account and therfore an API key. Everything fine so far.

Then to install the plugin, I uploaded the WordPress.com Stats Plugin folder, activated it, put my API key and then I got this message:

“Your blog was unable to connect to WordPress.com. Please ask your host for help. (transport error – could not open socket: 13 Permission denied)”

Next I’ve called my hosting company and asked them to open the socket 13, and they told me that you (wordpress support) have to give me “the IP address that it tries to reach at the end of installation to verify authentication so they can allowed that opening”.

So please, help me with that so we may finally activate this plugin, and the Askimet one, later on, because maybe I’m going to have the same issue.

Thanks a lot in advance for your support.
