Thanks again.

I am trying to know what information is received by a browser when somebody types www.certaindomain.com

In other words, I would like to know what is really the responsible of a fail when connecting to a server.

Rgds !

Just go to www.dnsstuff.com and enter the domain name under the "whois lookup" box. You'll get the technical/admin contact info, if the registrant chose to provide it.
