I cannot reproduce this on MS-Windows. When I try the above, Emacs
first tries to connect to a local server:
Opening connection to localhost:2628
Then it says:
Failed to open server localhost, continue with dict.org? (y or n)
I answer 'y', and then:
Opening connection to dict.org:2628
Searching for Hello in *
and next I see 4 definitions it finds.
So I wonder what goes wrong in your case. Is your Internet connection
working on the Windows machine? is port 2628 blocked by some firewall,
per chance?
