However, when I look into the file it is actually blank saying something like "It works! This is the default web page for this server" which can't be correct since that is not what Aro2220.com actually displays.

Furthermore, when I try to wget files I've put on the server for myself it returns a 404, file not found.

The ip it resolves for the server is also bad...any idea what is going on?

wget uses http and if a file is not found, a 404 error is given.

It sounds like you have apache set up with a virtual host that you are not hitting because if the odd ip.
If you look in /etc/hosts is that entry in there?

Hey, thanks for your help. When I set up my computer I put aro2220.com as my domain and so it set it to 127.0.1.1 in hosts.

I removed the from etc/hosts and now I can wget files off my website again.

Thanks for the help!
