All -- I do not seem to be able to get ANY of the sample code working against the test or live systems, and am confused what the problem may be. (Note -- very new to web developing).
Specific error message with VB.NET sample code (changed API login id & transaction key):
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 64.94.118.33:443

I saw somewhere in the forum that someone had a similar issue and that it might be SSL related. My SSL seems ok if you go to https://sitename.com, but if you go to www.sitename.com, you will get a SSL warning. Could this be the issue?
Solved! Go to Solution.

So, the solution to my problem is:
change the web.config file to add the proxy server for 1and1.com
<system.net>
<defaultProxy>
<proxy usesystemdefault="False"
bypassonlocal="False"
proxyaddress="http://ntproxy.1and1.com:3128"
/>
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>
Thank you to Raynor for the research and finding the solution.
