Jack:
That advice is very useful and to be followed by me,
step by step, because I would like to see it all working properly myself.
Please, allow me a little extra time.
Besides my health issues I have this other problem where
in internet properties the proxy setting for my ISP somehow automatically
gets checked without my knowledge and when it is not supposed to be.
If that happens, I cannot do anything on the internet.
I am fortunate to have discovered it myself, before creating more problems.
Thanks for being there, Jack.
Harry.
