Thanks for all replies.
The issue was simple (as always) but I will post this in case others come across
similar problems.
In Firefox "about:config",�� disable ipv6, and then ipv6 will work.
Strange, but true, and would appear to be one of "those" programming errors.
Or someone with a perverse sense of humour.

Hi Alan,

Do you have ipv6 enabled on your computer?

www.fx.net.nz is ipv6 enabled, and I suspect if the website is loading
slowly it may have to do with faulty v6 transit.
(ie, if you are accessing it over a tunnel going via the US or EU)

You could try www2.fx.net.nz which will go to the same place, but does not
have a v6 DNS record.

We haven't had any DoS attacks this evening that I'm aware of.

 My apologies for this (my first) post.
As a former Sys Admin, I retain an interest in this area
for purely personal & academic reasons.
After observing the post, I attempted to access http://www.fx.net.nz/
and it timed out.
And is doing so again this evening.
Your thoughts?
All else is functioning fine. ( I run PClos linux on my desktop & use Open
DNS)
