If it's the exact same error you should remember to turn your firewall back on as it's not that and you are wide open without it.
Have you tried to access the site running firefox? This would help us pinpoint wether it's a problem with IE.

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

No, not a good idea, esp publicly.

Just tried with firefox and no change.

It use to be a freebie but then users abused the space allowed i think... sounds a sort of familiar tale thet eh?

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

I just got my brother also on NTL to try the site (he has a newish PC) and he can't get it to work either, says exactly the same thing for him (in case that's of any interest).

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

Proxy issue? :shrug:

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

I would guess so. Maybe it's trying to use port 80 with non standard / non http requests, the caches will reject these. That's why I was going to try it, and monitor the traffic, but alas, I'm not paying to test. :)

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

Hi again, are there existing threads that can help with proxy issues? I don't even know what a proxy is or where to look to solve the problem. Any advice? Thanks very much!

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

There's a thread right at the top of this forum. ;)

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

Just so you know, if you're using the Sun Java VM you can specify a proxy independantly of your browser using the Java plugin icon in the control panel.

Another thing.. can you open http://66.43.25.128/ in your browser?

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

I tested it today and it's a bit strange. The software in the browser POST's to the server, but there is something not quite right about the POST - my software does not seem to recognise it as a valid POST, and apparently neither do the ntl proxy servers - as they simply don't respond to it, and drop the connection after a short timeout.

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

Is there anything i can do to further this? Or will i have to change ISP to get this to work?

Thanks again for your help!

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

Have you tried using both inktomi and netapp proxies? Sometimes they behave differently.

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

If i had any clue what they were i would answer that question! I presume a google search will tell me more?

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

the link explains all about ntl proxies & how to change the settings, if you want to check - also a list of NTL proxies with the Inktomi ones tagged 'INK'

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d...trancache.html

- thanks Robin :tu:

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

The list on this site is a little more up to date than Robin's now mind. I've also added to my own list which groups are definately netapp and which are inktomi (marked as trafficserver, correct when last checked)
