When I try and open some articles on the BBC new wesite I get the attached message. How can that be resolved please? VPN is off. Error: 410 Gone Your client has made a request for a BBC domain that is no longer hosted on Akamai, but the request was sent to an Akamai IP address. This suggests your client is using a very out-of-date DNS response, or one that has been altered. If you're using VPN software or similar, try disabling it and / or contact your VPN provider's technical support.

Chosen solution

I went to Preferences on my Apple laptop and selected Network, the WiFi & Advanced. I selected DNS, and entered 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 Information gleaned from intetrnet.

Who are you using for DNS? You can open a terminal or console and run nslookup google.com see screenshot

Good work, but that is what I said from the beginning. I assume you have a router, you will also need to make sure the settings are the same on it.
