Retrieving a gpg KMey

Earlier today, I created a gpg key, submitted it to keyserver.ubuntu.com 
and then tried to authenticate through launchpad to sign the ubuntu 
user's agreement.  I did eveerything correctly, I got the ascii armored 
message, decoded it using firegpg, and followed the link back to 
launchpad.

For whatever reason, my machine at work wouldn't connect, so I couldn't 
complete the action.

I figured I would just come home, do a quick lookup of help, and find 
something that would tell me how I can retrieve the key from the 
keyserver.

No such luck.

Do I have to generate a different key for each machine I use (there's 
eight of them)?  That doesn't seem right.

Using Ubuntu 9.04 (one is 9.04 UNR).

thanks for your help in getting me sorted out.
