Did you really use *that* domain?  It's a real domain.  Don't just fake
up domains without thought (for use on LANs, or in email examples).

[tim at suspishus ~]$ dig domain.ca

Do you have a working domain server?  Are you using hosts files?  Are
the hosts files set up properly?  I see lots of people doing daft things
with their hosts files (such as putting their own domain names onto the
local loopback address lines), then wondering why things go wrong later
on.

Can't tell without knowing your configuration, before and after the
problem.
