I'm having a problem where a valid URL kerfpress.com (without www.) is bringing up localhost when I ping on my Mac.

$ ping kerfpress.com
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.052 ms

When I ping www.kerfpress.com it works fine:

$ ping www.kerfpress.com
PING www.kerfpress.com (195.234.10.136): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 195.234.10.136: icmp_seq=0 ttl=49 time=54.084 ms

This is only happening from my Mac OSX 10.7.5. From other devices it seems to be accessing both fine.

Any help greatly appreciated.

http://www.kerfpress.com/ Is a valid website ... And probably you have created kerfpress.com on you localhost ... And that is reason why you getting that results !
