Agree it is a network issue.
1. I don't use a proxy for anything
2. There is no restriction on application permissions. I have the only computer in the house. Everything else is either Apple TV, iPads, iPhones or Android Phoines. I do have multiple NAS drives (QNAP & Synology but all powered off at time of testing)
3. It could be an issue with either my ISP or Modem/Router.
4. I use Kaspersky as my anti-virus but I tested with it disabled.
I will reset my modem router tomorrow morning.
I cannot test on another Windows 10 computer or a different ISP until the weekend.
I could try using my phone as a hotspot using cellular data but my cellular connection where I live is rubbish - I have to go onto the roof of the house for a mediocre connection.
I am not very good at Windows networking but potentially I need to check the networking in the NAS drives (potentially one may be attempting to provide a DNS look-up).
If it is an ISP problem then it means that Calibre will not be usable for me. Where I live in Phnom Penh in Cambodia I only have one ISP available.
If I work step by step... just take my time.
Your guidance is really appreciated.
Thanks
