Hi terriblue,

I assume you have tried to use the resources mentioned here
I don't know much about this module but the term remote suggest to me that something is attempting to contact another computer over a network. You might what to make sure you can "ping" this remote system. Sorry for being a smart-ass yesterday, but you need to start your trouble shooting with the obvious things. After you have verified there is nothing wrong with your network you might want to use Data::Dumper to see what is going ... like so ... 
...
use Data::Dumper;
...
#create remote blast factory object and initialize blast parameters
my $blast_factory = Bio::Tools::Run::RemoteBlast -> new (    
    '-prog' => 'blastn',
    '-data' => 'nr',
    '-expect' => '1e-10',
    '-readmethod' => 'SearchIO');

print Dumper( $blast_factory );
#loop over all sequences input and count how many sequences are found
my $count = 0;
while (my $seq = $seqio -> next_seq) {
$count++;

#loop to blast each sequence against the database
my $job = $blast_factory -> submit_blast ($seq);
print "Blasting sequence number $count\n";
print Dumper( $job );
#loop to load rids returned for the blast job submitted
while (my @rids = $blast_factory -> each_rid) {

#loop over rids to check server for a result
foreach my $rid (@rids) {
print Dumper( $rid );
my $blast_results = $blast_factory -> retrieve_blast($rid);
print Dumper( $blast_results );

And then maybe post the output here. Just a suggestion. I hope it helps :)
