I did get the address. it was http://listen.ultrastreams.us. Now why it worked with out the http is beyond me but a windows user pointed that out to me when they viewed my output. what'e the differents between traceroute http://listen.ultrastreams.us and traceroute listen.ultrastreams.us? why does the first one give unknown host and the second one work?
