Try this version of the whois command:

  whois -h whois.networksolutions.com linuxlighthouse.com

which does an explicit pointer to the whois server rather than thewhois -h whoiswhois -h whois.networksolutions.com linuxlighthouse.com
[Querying whois.networksolutions.com]
[Unable to connect to remote host]

implicit redirect.

My results are:

whois -h whois.networksolutions.com linuxlighthouse.com

i get ...

whois -h whoiswhois -h whois.networksolutions.com linuxlighthouse.com
[Querying whois.networksolutions.com]

[Unable to connect to remote host]

If that doesn't work, do a dig for "whois.networksolutions.com".
dig whois.networksolutions.com
