Hi guys
Thanks for your tips. I have extended my search to the newbies forum too. On top of what I've already done this is what I've done tonight. . I can open both JOSM and Merkaator and the maps open ok - although without any familiarity of these two - I can see my general area in both slippy maps. . I have used tracert and in all 3 tile locations I have a single "timed out" at step 2 ie to my ISP, then it works until step 23 when it times out again (through to step 30 after which the program stops) after "LMN-LMN1.site.ja.net" at 146.97.42.62 - I'm not sure what I was supposed to see here though? . I changed the DNS to opendns and tried opening maps and pinging and tracerting again. I also rebooted with similar lack of success. . I opened the links http://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/0/0/0.png http://b.tile.openstreetmap.org/0/0/0.png http://c.tile.openstreetmap.org/0/0/0.png and they all worked. . I have looked at my internet options and images aren't blocked (I have no trouble downloading images from anywhere else) . I have checked my firewall (Windows Defender) and anti-virus program (McAfee) but see nothing that I would say is causing difficulty. . I unloaded some of the add-ins I installed recently for Firefox. . I checked the hosts file in %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\ and only saw 127.0.0.1 local host and ::1 local host (so I assume that was ok) I have Windows Vista with SP2. I keep all my programs up to date. I am on broadband with oodles of memory - and didn't have a problem until 6 weeks or so ago. Very frustrating. Any further tips? Ta Dan
