Default Web site not opening up for me! Very frustrating!

Hello.
For some reason or another, I can't for the life of me bring up a specific
website....
http://www.justbeenpaid.com/member/login I can open the website from my
computer at work but for some reason, I can't open it from my home computer.
It's the strangest thing. I can click on a million different online links,
and for some reason, this website always times out and I get the message that
I am unable to connect with your website. I run my online diagnostic test
that I see when I get my unable to connect message, and it reports that my
connection is ok, etc. I've posted this problem on a forum, and someone
suggested that I clear my cookies. I did that and still nothing. I just
don't know if it's my computer's security software or something (but usually
if that is the case, if it doesn't like a site, it will just bring up a big
warning sign alerting me). I contacted support for that website and they
informed me that nobody else has a problem?!!? Any experts out there who can
possibly make a suggestion on what might be going on!??! Also, when I was in
Internet Explorer 8, I looked at "Internet Options" under "Tools"...do I need
to change one or more settings in the "privacy area" the "security tab"
"advanced" tab that could take care of this??? Could it be a security
setting with my firewall, etc., etc.? Do I need to run "msconfig" and change
something there perhaps? Maybe it's my wireless network? (I was going to try
to connect my computer to the modem directly with a cable, rather than use
the wireless network) Maybe that will do the trick?
Thank you very much!! I hope you have a solution.
