I've just viewed both www.wlug.org.nz and www2.wlug.org.nz using lynx on RH6.1 without ipv6 compiled in.

No, I very much doubt it is XP causing the problem.
The main difference between
www.wlug.org.nz and www2.wlug.org.nz is IPv6 dns records
See
matt(a)argon:~$ host -t AAAA www.wlug.org.nz www.wlug.org.nz is an alias for hoiho.wlug.org.nz. hoiho.wlug.org.nz has AAAA address 2002:cb61:a32::1
matt(a)argon:~$ host -t A www.wlug.org.nz www.wlug.org.nz is an alias for hoiho.wlug.org.nz. hoiho.wlug.org.nz has address 203.97.10.50
Vs
matt(a)argon:~$ host -t AAAA www2.wlug.org.nz matt(a)argon:~$
matt(a)argon:~$ host -t A www2.wlug.org.nz www2.wlug.org.nz has address 203.97.10.50
So if you can get to www2, but not www then it suggests that you are possibly having a problem with IPv6.
Without knowing how your network is setup it is hard to help you fix it. Perhaps if you provided some more details regarding your network setup and your ISP I could help.
Alternatively, you could just use www2 and be done with it.

Sorry if you've already said this, but:
Which operating system / distribution are you using, and which version? Which browser are you using, and which version?
(just trying to see if there's an obvious reason for www.wlug.org.nz to not work for you).
