cannot connect

[Chris Buxton]

The dig command shows that the problem is not a problem on the DNS  
server. I get the same answer here (the same two IP addresses), and I  
can load the website just fine. Both web server addresses accept  
connections on port 80.

What happens if you try to ping the name? This will test the stub  
resolver. You should get one of these two addresses in the first line  
of output. It doesn't matter whether you are actually able to ping  
the web server.
