Error 10060

[Nogeeknbm]

new to forum and reading like crazy and yes, i did do a search on this topic but found the answers difficult to understand or better yet, the solution seemed to elude me
i had no problems connecting to shoutcast server before and have used shoutcast for some time now
today, when i tried to connect, i continue to get ERROR 10060 and it will not connect
i have not changed anything in my settings and cannot figure out why this is happening
as i mentioned, i did read through forums so any additional information or who to contact would be grateful
thanks in advance to any and all who reply
