Thanks for that. It wasn't until I edited the hosts file that it picked up the site by domain name. I then flushed the cache as suggested and bingo, we have contact!
Out of interest, I then removed the domain from the hosts file and, lo and behold, I couldn't reach the site. So, I reinstated the entry and will leave it like that for a while, returning to remove from the hosts file from time to time to see if things change.
I might be a world class genius at designing and writing software but I have never really gotten to grips with the undergirding of websites, etc. I really need to update my own, but lack the wherewithal needed to design them.
