I have almost gone nuts trying to solve this-BUT-I was looking at my firewall to make sure ff was excepted & it occurred to me to switch off the firewall & try Lo & behold the problem was gone-so I turned firewall on-then lowered the level of intensity and it SEEMS to be O.K [not happy to lower level though ] Thanks to you all for assistance -Tonyatfox
