[Dx4win] strange cluster result

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

I did a little checking, and k5utd.utd.edu doesn't exist (at least not 
anymore), it has no DNS entry. (DNS is kind of like the phone book for 
the Internet.) However, I looked in a fairly recent dx4win.tcp file and 
found an entry for k5utd.utdallas.edu, but apparently there's no cluster 
software running there. Could be that it's been shut down.

As for cluster.w9zrx, that's not a legal name, but a look in the 
dx4win.tcp file shows dxc.w9zrx.net as the full name. It seems that 
system isn't running either.

Generally speaking, if you can access at least one or two things in the 
cluster list, it's probably an issue with the clusters not being 
available rather than something wrong with DX4WIN. If you can't get to 
anything (doesn't seem to be the issue for you), then it's at least 
possibly an issue with your internet connection. (Simple test is to open 
a browser and try to go to something like google.com; if you can't get 
to it, then it's probably an internet issue.)
