Thanks for your reply, Ted. My cable sevice has been down for the last 18 hours - it looks as if the junction box at the end of the street has been vandalised.
Your thinking is the same as mine - IE/FF work so it is not a network config problem. Disabling the firewall makes no difference, so it is not a firewall problem. But in Opera there is not much I can see in the way of relevant settings. Under Tools..Preferences..Advanced...Network there is a button for "Proxy servers" but would that be relevant with my setup ? And if so where do I find the appropriate info (esp port numbers) to use ?
