Host timeout issue

Dear all,

 

I am new to Curl and wish to use it to extract an XML file from a URL.

 

Now when I type in my URL into a browser then all works fine, I can
access the external site and save the output from the URL. Now when I
use the Curl executable through my Dos prompt I get the error

 

curl: (28) Resolving host timed out: www.bullredhorn.com
<http://www.bullredhorn.com/>

 

If I run Curl pointing to an ASP page on my network which returns XML
then Curl works, so I'm guessing it's a network issue, now my network
knowledge is limited, so could anyone assist me in some areas to start
looking at ? Thanks to all assistance.....
