WebClient timeout error

I have an error that is only appearing on one server and am trying to find
out what the cause is. Basically it is requesting a file from a url and uses
the WebClient.DownloadFile() method. This works fine on the dev server but
on staging I recieve a System.Net.WebException "The operation has timed-out."

I can access the image through IE on the same server. Does anyone know what
could be causing it to timeout?

Thanks,

A firewall for example. Can you get any web content from that host on
port 80?

Cheers,
