Actually, the web server maxed out and is refusing service [as most do]...
if you keep trying the retry button, you will eventually get through...
You can repeat or skip the following steps... been there, done that.
First a little background.
Machines are running on the site alter.net.
Alter.net is registered by Network Solutions
Alter.net's name servers are
AUTH00.NS.UU.NET - 198.6.1.65
AUTH60.NS.UU.NET - 198.6.1.181
The mini-XP net (both *.130 and *.140) routes through Seattle to
microsoftoc48-gw.customer.alter.net - 157.130.184.26
Now a little poking on the machines themself
whistlerstat - 207.46.145.130
ping - fails
finger - fails
telnet - fails
ftp - fails
telnet:80 - fails
http://207.46.145.130 brings up the home page you see at
http://testwindowsxp.com
arp -a 207.46.145.130 no entries
nbtstat -A 207.46.145.130 host not found
time - no service running
chat - no connection
whisper1 - 207.46.145.140
ping - fails
finger - fails
telnet - fails
ftp - fails
telnet:80 - fails
http://207.46.145.140 can't display page
arp -a 207.46.145.130 no entries
nbtstat -A 207.46.145.130 host not found
time - no service running
chat - no connection
whisper2
http://whisper2.alter.net page can't display
nbtstat -a whisper2.alter.net host not found
That's all I got so far... not much to say, unfortunately.
That may save you some time, though...

Well,
It looks like it's down already.
Oh well.
I was sort of interested is seeing what it is about.
Personally, I can't conceive why anyone would buy
into the XP model.
That's yet another reason I ain't rich I guess
