Trying to solve a problem for a friend, and failing. He has two pcs
connected to a Demon-supplied router. Recently he's been unable to
access at least two major commercial websites - they time out.

If he powers the router down then restarts it, he can get both sites -
but only once. Then the problem starts again.

We've cleared caches and cookies, and used both Firefox and IE - same
problem. Can anybody help?

Is he still using Demon as his ISP? There was a longish thread in

about this which turned out to be a Demon problem.

how about a clue - the website addresses and whether they are secure
https or not.
Can they be pinged from the command line ?

I can ping and access them with no difficulty - he can't.

I'll read the Demon thread - thanks for the info.
