BTW the latest Lynx is 2-8-1 from  www.slcc.edu/lynx/release/ :
obviously, this probably won't solve your problem,
but it does contain a lot of improvements over 2-8.

you can get  strace  from  sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/
or                         -/-/-/distributions/slackware/ ;
it's easy to compile & use & quite informative (good to have on-hand).

Klaus knows, but Mr Wilson may not, that `Unable to connect to remote host'
may simply mean the server is not responding,
far from unknown in the case of  lynx.browser.org/ ;
however, there appear to have been other connection problems.

i now return to the stands ...
