Try using ping on that workstation to see if the workstation resolves
the host names to the correct machines. Example:
    For a URL like http://www.google.com,
    Try ping www.google.com and see if the machine can be pinged
(and what IP address comes-up (ping always shows the numerical IP
address before it starts pinging)).
