Thanks for the tip. The trace showed me lots of information. I know how far it got, but don't know what it was trying to do when it timed out. Here's the last bit of the DiG output: ;; Received 436 bytes from 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1) in 2 ms ca. 172800 IN NS ca05.cira.ca. ca. 172800 IN NS ns-ext.isc.org. ca. 172800 IN NS ca02.cira.ca. ca. 172800 IN NS ca06.cira.ca. ca. 172800 IN NS ca04.cira.ca. ca. 172800 IN NS ca01.cira.ca. ;; Received 287 bytes from 193.0.14.129#53(K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET) in 797 ms futureshop.ca. 86400 IN NS dns2.cidc.telus.com. futureshop.ca. 86400 IN NS dns1.cidc.telus.com. ;; Received 87 bytes from 129.33.164.84#53(ca05.cira.ca) in 2442 ms ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached Why did it timeout?

Try: dig www.futureshop.ca +trace you'll see it making queries to the individual nameservers from the root downwards and that might give an indication of where the problem is.
