Hello,

for no apparent reason of late my browser 5.1.7 safari on Lion 10.7.4 has been unable to find any number of pages on many sites to which I have pointed it.

A pause of seconds up to 5 mins or so and the connection is made.

Just a bit annoying - any ideas?

nb:- no changes to set up/isp and such in the last year.

Thank you
