Hi Norton,
Then you're not having a dns problem i guess. Perhaps the webserver
you're trying to reach is down or so.
Since i have no idea how the network of your university works, i think
it's best you consult the IT crew from your university. They should be
able to tell you more what's going wrong.
Greetz,
Johan
