I don't know if this is the problem, but if you issue the command:

dict -v word (where word is the word you want to look up)

you eventually see that dict can not connect to any of the servers:

   server localhost
   server dict.org
   server dict0.us.dict.org
   server alt0.dict.org

i just ping'd dict.org and it is up. anyone know what could be causing
this?
