That is the problem. In the capabilities Online Resource you find the IP
number that doesn't work, so once the capabilites have been interpreted
correctly the client will query for the IP which does not work.

As a workaround you could save the XML as a local file, change the IP to
the above given URL, and try agin, maybe then it will work. The
capabilities should be corrected anyway.
