http callout times out.

I am trying to connect Salesforce to a fishbowl server.  Unfortunately I have very little expirience with web services.  I have built an apex class that would make the callout but it times out.  I know the port is open and the ip are good because I can connect with fishbowl into the server from an outside computer.  Any help or advise would be appreciated.  If you want to look at fishbowl's docs here they are: 

http://www.fishbowlinventory.com/files/release/2012-08-16/fi-2012.7.exe

Here is my code I have changed the IP address to a random one.  The port is the actual port that fishbowl uses.

public with sharing class fishExt {


public void connect(){
	HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
	req.setEndPoint('http://11.111.111.111:28192');
	String xml = '<FbiXml><Ticket/><FbiMsgsRq><LoginRq><IAID>123456</IAID><IAName>FishbowlKyazmaTest</IAName><IADescription>This is a test of the connection</IADescription><UserName>admin</UserName><UserPassword>' + EncodingUtil.base64Encode(blob.valueof('admin')) + '</UserPassword></LoginRq></FbiMsgsRq></FbiXml>';
	req.setBody(xml);
	req.setMethod('GET');
	req.setTimeout(120000);
	
	Http http = new Http();
    HTTPResponse res = http.send(req);
    System.debug(res.getBody());
}



}

Have you add this ip in "All Remote Sites"??

Try changing the method to POST rather then GET.

Thanks for the example.  I have tried both of those things.  I got my hands on a testing mechanism from the company and when I try to use it the connection works when I use 11.111.1.111 as the end point, but when I use http://11.111.1.11 as the end point it does not work.  with salesforce when I remove the http I get an error that says  no protocol.  Is there a way to get salesforce to callout to an ip without the http?
