Unable to fetch any information on available new releases and updates.

I assumed it was a problem with drupal.org again but it's been some time broken. The logs say cron runs are completed. Checking manually results error message. Any suggestions where to start?

I don't see that any of these apply. I'm not having problems with cron, or timouts, or browser errors. Would my host remove httpd's ability to request pages on a working server? Is there any way I can check to see if that is the case?

http://drupal.org/node/168828#comment-643863 has some info. Yes, it's possible your httpd is configured not to allow outbound connections. It depends on your server config. Google had some answers the last time I asked.

we had a similar problem today.. our isp changed their dns servers and we had to update our /etc/resolv.conf files. our simplefeed curl was breaking down
and so was drupal update status check.

so we restarted our machine -
$ shutdown -r now and it worked fine.
