iang-gDXiyAWc/v0 at public.gmane.org:~$ host geekent.com
geekent.com             A       205.207.28.100
iang-gDXiyAWc/v0 at public.gmane.org:~$ host www.geekent.com
www.geekent.com         CNAME   emmajane.net
emmajane.net            A       66.98.212.88

You need to point www.geekent.com to the right address.  Whoever is
doing DNS for geekent.com (samurai.com, it seems) should fix it.
