Many thanks for the help.
After a few hours of it partially working, now the webcontrol page on
8080 isn't working, and none of the camera pages are now working,
despite yesterday, the camera ports all worked - so it isn't related to
ports being open or closed, or else it wouldn't have worked yesterday,
before not working!
Any clues would be appreciated! I am finding this immensely frustrating!
