Are the pool worker username and password correct?
Some pools (including deepbit) require you to connect with a worker username and password, not your login username and password ...

Have you tried a pool on port 80? not sure if deepbit allows that, but bitminter (see my sig) does.
And you dont want to mine on deepbit anyway.

Hi, I was able to download the blocks with the client, so I don't think high ports are blocked :/

Are you behind a firewall that isn't letting port 8332 out?  Blocking of high ports is not uncommon.

Hi,
I'm trying to use cgminer to do some mining on pools but, I cannot join any pools with it.

I actually can join my own local server doing ./cgminer -o localhost:8332 etc..
But, when I try to join an external server, like pit.deepbit.net, I have :

[2011-11-16 15:23:43] HTTP request failed: connect() timed out!
[2011-11-16 15:23:43] Failed to connect in json_rpc_call
[2011-11-16 15:23:43] FAILED to retrieve work from pool 0 http://pit.deepbit.net:8332

I also cant join a server on the LAN with the minner, but I have no problems to ssh this server, or ping it.

I'm using Ubuntu.

regards,
