I run Askimet with BP without any issues
Better to ask the forums at http://en.forums.wordpress.com/
When i put my API key in it says
The key you entered could not be verified because a connection to akismet.com could not be established. Please check your server configuration.
and
my stats page looks like this

Im also getting an unknown error occured when searching for plugins which was working fine earlier…
i think something must be up with the server?!
Daniel, does Akismet protect user blogs as well as the main blog? Do you install akismet in mu-plugins or plugins? Thanks.
Just had this email from Aksimet
“
Hi Michael,
I just heard back from our network staff.
Evidently there was a problem about 24 hours ago that affected some OpenDNS users in the UK – presumably this includes your hosting provider. Some locations were unable to resolve domains hosted on certain DNS servers, which included Akismet (and some other sites). We know the problem was at OpenDNS and confined to the UK, but we haven’t received an explanation from them as to what happened.
Whatever it was, it seems to be fixed now.
Please let me know if you’re still experiencing problems and we’ll take a fresh look.
Kind regards,
Alex.”
