I'd definately start by doing ping tests, rather than rushing to
browser tests.
Start by pinging yourself (your IP), then your router, then try
pinging www.demon.net
If DNS settings are wrong in Networking (eg. router isn't set as
primary DNS) you could have a problem. Also, I had an instance
recently where a customer's router didn't properly forward DNS
requests, so we found that manually specifying the ISP's DNS in the
Secondary DNS box fixed the problem.
Also, check output from *EJinfo
Best regards,
Andrew
