I thought it was just me! Been resetting routers and all sorts, so I'm glad to see it's not just my computer

I wonder idly whether it's a DNS issue?

If you go to the Properties page of your network card, select IPv4 and click Properties, then change the DNS setting from "obtain automatically" to 8.8.8.8 does that make any difference?

Probably a good thing unless you were arranging something or finding a long lost loved one or having a wild affair.

I wish I'd thought of that.

There's a link at the bottom of that page which gives a step-by-step guide on how to change the setting I was mentioning. Probably a bit clearer than my explanation.
