    are you using wired or wireless connection ??
    try right clicking your network connection and select "turn off"
    and then turn on and then try connecting to the internet.

    Worked, straight away! Although took a bit of time for connection. I have both options, but always use wired connection. Checked top RHS > settings > wired connection showed accessed > Firefox > videohelp. I did not have to turn it off and on again, although this procedure and technique eliminates distractive mistakes as well. Could also be the problem not checking all the different aspects of having a connection. Funny thing is when I tried to post this reply from the Linux connection in videohelp (Reply to Thread) it would not let me; I’m using my laptop now. I use my laptop with Win 7 mostly and have to swap SSD and HDD to use Ubuntu O/S on a desktop. It wouldn't surprise me if I did not log in properly, it happens! Anyway, thanks for the good advice, and I will test the ubuntu posting on videohelp, cheers. :
