When it doesnt work, is there anything which is common to the event. Like you have just booted the PC, or same time of the day

In the Java control panel,

"General.Network Settings" - check "Use Browser Settings"

In your browser settings for your current connection, do you have a proxy server defined??

Intermittent connection problems are extremely difficult to track down, its best when they just dont work.

OK Steve, in general,I have been unable to reconnect during the period the PC is turned on.I have not tried a reboot to see if that cures the problem.
One time I couldn't log on ,started to post here my problem,went back to log in to see the error message and I got in
It is usually the same time of day,between 9 and 10pm UK time.

In the Java control panel,Network settings, there is a check against "Use Browser Settings"
In my browser settings for my connection I have the check against "Use proxy Server for my LAN"

Its a problem for sure and as you say,very annoying to track down when intermittent.
But you know you love a problem to solve Steve Thanks for your help so far
