This could be one of two things.
1) Badly configured routers (unlikely)
2) The machine, www.search.asic.gov.au, is completely offline or the
connection to that machine is poor or nonexistant (probable)
Either way, there isn't a lot you can do apart from contact the sysops at
either www.search.asic.gov.au, or one of the two routers involved in the
loop.
