Hello,

Had this problem for a few days now. Sometimes pages will load quickly and fine. But other times they will take a while and then just display a connection timeout error message. After trying a few times to load page again it will work. As you can understand this is very frustrating.

Any ideas what is happening and how to solve it?

Many Thanks, Jim
