[SWLUG] How do I find the reason for a website refusing to connect

[Neil Jones]

Hi everybody,

A website belonging to an American charity is not working. I am getting
a "connection was refused when attemting to contact ...."
message from Epiphany and Konqueror says Could not connect to host.
I can ping the address quite sucessfully.

Since I am invoved with a UK equivalent of the American Charity I would like 
to offer them some diagnostic advice. 

Any ideas what could be causing this and what if any diagnostic tools I could 
simply use from this end to find out what is the matter.
