Latest Remote addon has been released,which version is 1.6.5.21 and fixed issue in WinXP

This software prevents (or drastically slows) access to some, not all web sites.
See below my report to Netgear:

Thanks again for choosing NETGEAR. Have a great day!
There is now a problem accessing SOME web sites, this has been traced to a problem with the LEAF Network Adaptor.
With the adaptor DISABLED,I can access any and all web sites - but of course I cannot use the ReadyNas on line.
If I ENABLE the Leaf Network Adaptor, I can access some sites e.g. www.bbc.co.uk and many others, but I cannot access e.g. www.gooutdoors.com or www.ebuyer.com
This state of affairs is repeatable and is replicated on two different MS XP-Pro SP3 computers.
This applies to all browsers IE6, Firefox and Chrome.
A Google Nexus 7 running Chrome on the same network works fine.
Please advise

I have tried to re-open this case or tried to create a new case, I don't know if this was successful?
Please advise?
Best regards

On a positive note I was able to access ReadyDrop.
But, I have now had to disable the Leaf Network Adaptor and therefore can no longer access the ReadyNas remotely, nor of course ReadyDrop.
At least I have control of my web browsers back!
