My Quick response would be to reset your browser settings to default and to reboot and try again assuming your browser is up to date ?

You could try installing a secondary browser like Firefox and giving it a try.

What about a firewall, do you have a firewall blocking such access ?

Hows the weather down there, I am on the Island in 2 weeks time visiting my mum ?
