Ian,

We are behind a proxy and a firewall so that's the most likely
explanation. I don't think I have a problem logging in to other sites
(I'm sure I would have noticed). I'm not in work now so I can't try
anything out. I know I have to set up various darcs environment
variables at work to get darcs to work (DARCS_PROXYUSERPWD is one and
there may be another).

Thanks for investigating, Dominic.
