Pinging the host is disabled by the firewall. I am almost certain
there is no connectivty problem between me and the host as I can
connect via the tcp if I specify the IP address:
=====
[timl at timl ~]$ nslookup www.bom.gov.au
Server:		134.178.14.1
Address:	134.178.14.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:	www.bom.gov.au
Address: 210.8.42.125

[timl at timl ~]$ telnet 210.8.42.125 80
Trying 210.8.42.125...
Connected to 210.8.42.125.
Escape character is '^]'.
