David, below is the diagnostic log - it has just happened
again. I have sent the log by email out of the machine across
the world and back to the other machine, which is on the same
switch. The connection to the ISP itself is obviously
working, but none of the browsers seem to hold their
concentration! - Nor does IE diagnostic appear to know how
OE does it... Don'cha just love M$.
It looks a lot like DNS problems, as I originally suspected.
OE can still work as it's already resolved the hostname of your
ISP's mail server, so it knows the IP already, and doesn't have
to re-query the DNS server.
It would appear that you have the DNS server configured to be
192.168.1.1, which will be your gateway (the ADSL router) -
that's probably configured for you by DHCP.
It might be worth forcing the DNS servers on the machine in
question to use specific ones, perhaps the OpenDNS
(www.opendns.org) servers.
Out of interest, do other machines on your network use the
gateway as a DNS server too? Do they exhibit the same problems
at the same time, or do they continue to be able to resolve
names?
There's nice instructions at https://www.opendns.com/start to
change the DNS settings.

Thanks,
That's looking good on the one machine. None of the others have
the problem.
The browsers seemed to have the problem even if they had been
repeatedly accessing a particular site! Ah... I'll never
understand this. I should write more poetry.
If you can find your DNS and prosper
When others trip upon the IP step,
Yours is the web and all there is that's in it,
Including, alas, quite a lot of drek...
