whois tele2.nl instead of "Ørestads" it will write "├ÿrestads"

Also, a the end it tries connect to 'ele2.nl' somehow (??)

Connecting to ele2.nl...
Een verbindingspoging is mislukt omdat de verbonden party niet correct heeft geantwoord na een bepaalde tijd, of de gemaakte verbinding is mislukt omdat de verbonden host niet heeft geantwoord.

English: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not answer correctly after a certain time, or the connection made failed because the connected host did not answer.
