Can't access one particular website - please advise

Hi there,
As you can see, I'm able to use the Internet and browse every other website bar one. I get this error message:

The connection has timed out
The server at https://www.goldstar.com is taking too long to respond

Any suggestions/advice?
Thanks,
jazzy

    First of all enter
    ping www.goldstar.com
    
    in a command prompt. You should get something like this
    PING www.goldstar.com (206.221.211.162) 56(84) bytes of data.
    64 bytes from www.goldstar.com (206.221.211.162): icmp_seq=1 ttl=48 time=177 ms
    64 bytes from www.goldstar.com (206.221.211.162): icmp_seq=2 ttl=48 time=177 ms
    64 bytes from www.goldstar.com (206.221.211.162): icmp_seq=3 ttl=48 time=180 ms
    64 bytes from www.goldstar.com (206.221.211.162): icmp_seq=4 ttl=48 time=177 ms
    
    and not like this
    PING www.goldstar.com (206.221.211.162) 56(84) bytes of data.
    From 10.50.40.254 icmp_seq=19 Destination Host Unreachable
    From 10.50.40.254 icmp_seq=20 Destination Host Unreachable
    From 10.50.40.254 icmp_seq=21 Destination Host Unreachable
    From 10.50.40.254 icmp_seq=22 Destination Host Unreachable
    From 10.50.40.254 icmp_seq=24 Destination Host Unreachable
    

    Assuming a good result, try spike's suggestion. If it is not a good result, your ISP has a routing problem and it is off to your ISP for a resolution, although most of them will fail to accept that things are probably alright at your end if you can use the rest of the internet.

  • Thanks guys. I've deleted all cookies etc, but not sure how to do the command prompt. Sorry - not an expert!

    Start>Run opens the command prompt.
    Enter the command in the box that appears.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
