UNIX and Linux Applications

Hello,

I am using Curl command to make a function call to a web service. The issue I am facing right now is:

curl h**p://www.google.com

with the above command, I get a XML file as a response. Also when i execute :

wget h**p://www.google.com

Replace ** : tt
I can see status as connected. Which concludes the fact that I am able to connect to web.

But there is another web service that we are using. If I try to connect to it using same commands, I am not able connect to it.

The command keeps resolving host name and exits with an error ' Couldn't resolve host'. I am able to connect to the website using the browser ( IE / Chrome ).

Is there any firewall setting on Unix which needs to be disabled in order to achieve this ?

Any option in this regard will be extremely helpful. Let me know if you need any more details.

Thanks in advance

Can you ping the target host? If so, can you telnet to port of the service ( normally 80 )?
