Hi Drib.
As far as I can tell from that, it would appear to be a dns problem.
I would advise configuring TCP/Ip to use Plusnets DNS settings and that should resolve the problem for you.

Thanks Keith but your techie that I spoke to yesterday 03 Feb was also baffled as that did not work either. Resolved by me with System restore to go back 3 days. I.m still baffled and would be grateful for any solution that could explain and perhaps be of use in future

A computer virus corrupts DNS and/or inserts a proxy server (which is then taken offline). Your security software removes the virus but does not correct the corrupt settings. Then System Restore performs the necessary correction.
