Either you cannot resolve dns1.cidc.telus.com and dns2.cidc.telus.com or you cannot reach them. You can test if you can reach them by querying those nameservers directly: dig @216.123.224.131 www.futureshop.ca dig @66.203.199.203 www.futureshop.ca The first of these is dns1.cidc.telus.com, the second is dns2.cidc.telus.com. Given that these servers are on completely different networks, I suspect you cannot resolve them. Try: dig dns1.cidc.telus.com +trace Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
