[Cialug] 302 redirect oddity

[Michael Watson]

Can someone give me a clue why  302 errors are being redirected to somewhere within Iowatelecom's IP address range?  This happens with browsers, if it's not a direct link it immediately jumps to "Waiting for 69.66.3.2..." (Firefox) and eventually times out (several minutes).  The wget eventually comes back to the prompt.

It's possible (perhaps likely) something on my PC (SuSE 11.2), but other than updating Firefox to 3.6 the other day (it's not the only browser affected, however), not much has changed internally lately.  Removing 'search iowatelecom.net' from resolv.conf didn't make any difference, the rest looks like:

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 4.2.2.6
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
nameserver 69.66.0.25

Running nmap -O against the IP comes up with about 800 open TCP ports, but couldn't come up with a suggestion of what kind of box it is.

Yahoo Mail works, Slashdot doesn't.  I'm not a DNS guy.  Any ideas would be welcome, online or off.

Thanks,
Michael
