Drupal's INSTALL.TXT has this passage which is not very specific: Various Drupal features require that the web server process (for example, httpd) be able to initiate outbound connections. This is usually possible, but some hosting providers or server configurations forbid such connections. The features that depend on this functionality include the integrated "Update status" module
Aha! This turned out to be the case - outbound connections on port 80 were being blocked.
Thanks for your help!
