Hate to say this but it may just be name resolution for terminus.net.au
- we have have just switched over from connect.com.au to NameScout as
the registrar because the old name servers listed by connect were no
longer operational.  Before the change went through some name lookups
were failing.  Maybe your PC had the IP address in its hosts file or was
using a different DNS server to your laptop.
