Going outside

>From a qshell session on mu as/400 I'm trying to run a simple java program

. . .
String SOAPUrl      = args[0];
URL url = new URL(SOAPUrl);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
HttpURLConnection httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) connection;
. . .
 
After 1 minute program timeouts. However if I put the same link in a html page 
of our intranet I can easily reach the destination.
 
Am I missing something ?
 
Thanks.
