Trying to load ebay (uk and .com) I get a "connection timed out" message and "server is taking too long to respond" message I can load other sites including facebook gmail and my bank. The problem seems to be on my laptop as I can acces ebay without problems on another computer.

I have cleared history, cookies and cache and have also tried disabling addons. Nothing seems to work. Any help gratefully received (not too technical, please)
