I'm no expert on networking, but I did notice that it manages to resolve
the address.

You've probably done so already, but I think pings are handled specially,
so you might also want to try using a more ``normal'' networking program
such as lynx or wget.

Atleast I know that something that appears to be broken but have actually
worked all along, is just the kind of thing I'd run into.  ;-)
