> I installed wget on a HP-UX box using the depot package.

Which depot package?  (Anyone can make a depot package.) 
Depot package came from
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/wget-1.10.2/

Which wget version ("wget -V")? 
1.10.2

Built how?
Installed using swinstall

Running on which HP-UX system type?
RP-5405

OS version?
HP-UX B.11.11

   First guess:  You have a DNS problem, not a wget problem.  Can any
other program on the system (Web browser, nslookup, ...) resolve names
any better?
Nslookup and ping work wonderfully. Sorry, I should have mentioned that
the first time.

   Second guess:  If DNS works for everyone else, I'd try building wget
(preferably a current version, 1.10.2) from the source, and see if that
makes any difference.  (Who knows what name resolver is linked in with
the program in the depot?)
Started to try that and got some error messages during the build. I may
need to re-investigate.

   Third guess:  Try the ITRC forum for HP-UX, but you'll probably need
more info than this there, too:

Thanks, I'll check.
