Unable to open web page via lynx while in terminal

When logged into my server via a terminal, I am unable to display the site webpage using: lynx exampledomain.com. I can do this with all of my other linode servers but not just one.

I can open the web page using a regular browser on my computer.

How can I fix this?

Thank you, Jeff

I am unfamiliar with any nuances that might arise from using Lynx versus otherwise navigating to the same webpage in another browser. Assuming that your network configuration is matched between other Linodes, running a curl might be the most direct way to determine why Lynx cannot complete the request.

curl -iL $DOMAIN_NAME

Otherwise, are you having Lynx issues with any other sites or domains? I found some StackExchange discussion where someone had encountered a seemingly similar issue:
