Thanks for yours Arthur.

Just to recap:

3 of my 4 computers have the problem, 1 works fine.  
All have same OS & browser. (Linux & Firefox)
Several other folk have the same problem - all have different Windows OS & use different browsers.
The majority of folk have no problem whatsoever irrespective of which OS or browser is used.

Do you still think the DNS cache is the culprit?  

Thanks for your input.

Elizabeth
