          there's special tool called dig that can check what's wrong:



          dig -t A austen.lan
          which will tell you if the domain is globally available



          then if it's not available you can do few things:




          1. if that's domain has been bought, navigate to your DNS panel and adjust DNS records. this domain however, doesn't respond with anything specific so my guess it's just to be used internally within your network.

          2. if that's local network address only, adjust your router to respond correctly to requests for that domain (this varies per router and the software it uses so cannot give anything specific)

          3. alter /etc/hosts (universally called hosts file if you're not running UNIX) to point that domain to IP f your choice.
