Unable to connect to a specific website.

Anyone got any ideas?, and can you try this website:

www.tradeplace.com/

It's one we use at work, or did - as we can't connect to it any more, although other people say they can.

Traceroute times out after two hops in Germany - after going via Houston, Atlanta, and Washignton.

Is it perhaps a DSN server problem?.

Thanks Eric,

So why doesn't it work from here?.

Here's a traceroute screenshot on it's IP address.

Did that URL I posted make any difference?

No it didn't.

I've just tried setting my DNS server settings to a different server, made no difference either.

Works fine here.

I'm back home now, and I can connect from here OK, but Traceroute still times out - perhaps the server doesn't accept pings?.

 

[3v0]

Traceroute did not work from here either.

Hi Nigel,
It works fine here can't say what might be the problem, It may happen that it would not be able to catch the server from the workplace where you work, but its not sure, I am just making a guess or might be the server would be overloaded with number of users at the time when you try accessing it.

Last year, I had a similar problem with another site. Had to clear my cache to fix it.

BTW, the site you mention works fine for me, WinXP/Chrome.
