Hello Chris

I'm not sure why user location is a problem, but your ns2.helmdns.com
nameserver is returning two IP addresses for plant.neogeneurope.com, the
correct 64 and the incorrect 72 address. The ns1.helmdns.com nameserver is
providing just the correct IP.

On a windows machine I did:

nslookup plant.neogeneurope.com ns2.helmdns.com

and got this:

Server:  ms1.pronameserver.com
Address:  64.62.162.95

Name:    plant.neogeneurope.com
Addresses:  64.62.155.55, 72.52.165.137


You might also find the iptools.com website useful, it has saved me many
many times!

I hope that helps
