It looks like its just certain DNS servers that are having problems 
with the *.ethereal.com DNS names.

Specifically when I use my ISP's DNS servers (earthlink)
all of the *.ethereal.com names get redirected to:

> Name:    resalehost.networksolutions.com
> Address:  205.178.189.128
> Aliases:  www.ethereal.com

But when using my employer's DNS server I get the following 
answer which get's me into ethereal's web site.

> Non-authoritative answer:
> Name:    www.ethereal.com
> Address:  65.208.228.223

This begs the question:  Which DNS server is answering 
correctly?

I hope you find this info useful.
