Hi Shavek,
Many thanks for the info.  I shall try your suggestion when I am back on my laptop and report back.  Meanwhile I am using my workstation and had no trouble.  Different machine but same IP address for my wan access.  Cache seems to be a credible cause.
Not heard from you for years it seems so many thanks again.
Budge.
