I did a nslookup on www.hardyrealty.com and got the following. Does this
look right to you?

Aslan 28% nslookup www.hardyrealty.com
Server:  Black-Beard.Kennesaw.EDU
Address:  130.218.100.5

Name:    www.hardyrealty.com
Address:  205.152.7.31

What I get from the name to IP replacement in my browser is this after
accessing www.hardyrealty.com:
205.152.7.132
so I think you have a DNS error.  What do you think?
