I've some problem accessing above site (name not resolvable), on investigating 
the issue, I found that your institute's DNS admin has probably messed up, with 
a typo. Following is the output of name resolution from nameservers.

And following is the output of query from Airtel's (my ISP) caching nameserver.

So, to me this seems like a typo in the ac.in. nameservers.

>2) Connection properties: wlan0 Signal strength 85%

No ideas :(
