That is because the underscore is now an illegal character in DNS records
needs to be a hyphen

What are the valid characters in a hostname?
Hostnames can contain letters, numbers, and hyphens, and may not start with
a hyphen. Underscore (_) is not a valid character in a hostname. While there
are some DNS server software packages available that allow underscore within
published host names, most do not. Using a domain or host name with an
underscore will cause most name servers on the Internet to stop recognizing
the related host/IP address

 I'm getting the following error
While trying to retrieve the URL:
http://smart_and_handsome.tripod.com/oracle.html

The following error was encountered:

Invalid URL
Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect. Possible problems:

Missing or incorrect access protocol (should be `http://'' or similar)
Missing hostname
Illegal double-escape in the URL-Path
Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed

Pl help.
