Some information required in order to narrow down the problem:

* network connectivity is ok for other sites, eg. http://www.debian.org  ?
* output of "traceroute http://www.simpleware.co.uk";
* output of "route -n"  (as root)
* "wget http://www.simpleware.co.uk/";  working?
* local firewall installed ("iptables -L")

It seems that http://www.simpleware.co.uk/ is firewalled and does
not reply to an icmp echo request, i.e. ping does not work. Maybe
this is a hint.

Cheers, Thomas
