Oops! Google Chrome could not find

Why do I get this message when I try to view my son's school website which I know isn't down or having problems?

Oops! Google Chrome could not find :mad:

I'm using Chrome on a win 7 Dell laptop and every other web site is ok. This happens on my desktop as well. :(

Could it be the wireless router? although I can access the site with my ipod with no trouble.

I don't use Internet explorer 11, I have it turned off.

I've googled the problem but nothing I've tried has made any difference.

Help please..:D

    You first need to try with another web browser ... try downloading Firefox, Opera, or reinstalling Internet Explorer.

    Are you aware of the Command window? (The black "DOS"-type window that is invoked by typing cmd in the Start box and pressing Enter).

    In the Command window type ping website-name (press Enter) and see what result you get.

    In the Command window type tracert website-name (press Enter) and see what result you get.

    How are you entering the address, are you typing it or using a bookmarked favourite ?

    Have you googled the schools name ?

    Always wise to have two browsers. That way if you use IE or something else you can at least establish whether it is a browser problem.
