I will definately check out that site you recommended, thanks for that. Things seem to be OK with browsing at present but youre right, the German one is a machine and like all machines it can go wrong obviously.
I'll check out the Firefox browser later in the week, I work nights and to be honest, you dont want to be getting up and messing with a pc then have to go off to work with the job half done!!

you need to be running the ping command in a dos box - /start/run/cmd - enter
then ping
www.bbc.co.uk (or whatever)
then right click, choose 'mark'
& highlight the text you want to copy e.g.
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ping www.bbc.co.uk
