This is *correct* behavior. It shows you can connect to port 80 (http) of newegg. You
should simply do CTRL-] to "un-paralyse" your terminal.

That too is normal...since you would not expect them to accept telnet service connects on
the default port of 23.

OK.... Now this I find "interesting" ....
On your system
secure.newegg.com seems to resolve to 208.91.197.27 while on my system it
resolves to 204.14.213.188.
and....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ host 208.91.197.27
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
what is your resolv.conf set to?
Normally set to 208.67.220.220, 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.222
I just tried 8.8.8.8 as suggested and 12.189.32.61 which is the Wildblue
dns. the error still occurs.
I also tried the address you found:
[bobg@box9 ~]$ wget 204.14.213.188
--2012-10-18 12:13:39--
http://204.14.213.188/
