I got: Pinging banyan.dlut.edu.cn (The People's Republic of China)... byte-code: banyan.dlut.edu.cn/discard Temporary failure in name resolution I wanted it to just try and get the web page which would register the request with wwwoffle. Instead it is trying to do something more fancy. See, given such names, wwwoffle knows what to do: $ wwwoffle banyan.dlut.edu.cn/~ygh Getting: http://banyan.dlut.edu.cn/~ygh So does mozilla. Lynx too perhaps, but I'm not sure. Maybe it forgot $http_proxy in this case. $ lynx banyan.dlut.edu.cn/~ygh Looking up banyan.dlut.edu.cn first Looking up www.banyan.dlut.edu.cn.com, guessing...
