Yes I've done as you suggested (in fact I've gone through this and other things before to no avail)

Anyway, I shall be back in UK within a month and laptop works fine there so will just leave things for a while.

I'm pretty certain there's a problem with the connection within this building.  Internet came with the apartment and it's a shared server. 

It will get sorted - no worries and thanks again.

If I get desperate I shall scream again in this thread.

:D
