In case FTP is involved, it *might* be necessary to do either set the
Umgebungsvariable FTP_PASSIVE=1 or tweak the settings in Net::Config:

     ftp_int_passive     # in Net::Config
     ftp_ext_passive     # ditto

(Don't know the difference between the two.)

That helps with the CPAN shell. But maybe it doesn't with PPM.
And maybe you're not even doing FTP.

Sounds like a separate issue. You're not saying what doesn't work, so
probably nobody can help you.
