Just a BTW, but I also went to SN's 'home' (verticalscope or something similar) & got the same 'time out' msg on every link that I tried there. Odd, but thanks to all, esp Bob who's posting about the proxy seemed to trigger the cure!

Further FYI, for anyone interested, problem returned an hour or so after I posted the above. Suspect problem in my (ADSL) modem. Further tests later on, including using a Linux PC.
