check your iptables ( if you're running red hat )
% iptables -L
make sure server2 IP isn't being blocked for some odd reason.

then try telneting directly to port 80
% telnet server2 80
if you get a response saying
Connected to server2
Escape Character is '^]'.

if that works.. then wget is probably feked.
