Is it possible you are behind a firewall and your
browser is set up to use a proxy?

Can you access this site ok outside of Cygwin - eg
using the MS telnet command in a DOS shell?

If you try the command:

   telnet  images.ucomics.com  80

you should get a connection.  It won't output anything until you
type something - then (unless you manage to type a valid HTTP
request) it should respond with an HTML error message and close the
connection.

Try the same thing with the IP address (63.161.87.120).  This
should establish whether it's a DNS issue, a firewall issue
or a Cygwin issue.  (If it works in the DOS shell try the same
under bash).
