Sounds like a dns issue. nslookup rainmaker.wunderground.com applied here yields: rainmaker.wunderground.com canonical name = blackbird.wunderground.com. Name: blackbird.wunderground.com Address: 66.28.69.161 which sounds good, because my telnet begins: Trying 66.28.69.161... Connected to blackbird.wunderground.com (66.28.69.161).
