Re: CANT ACCESS certain websites??
 

I can access his sites fully running through my D-Link router.

I had one a few weeks ago on our router could not access the Weighwatchers website, put our proxy in and voila full access.

Re: CANT ACCESS certain websites??
 

ok tried to use WPA and then couldnt login AT ALL! So was quite upset that I now couldnt get internet at all.

But I got my roommate (who has the router in his room) to connect with an ethernet cable and we changed the security to WEP (which we EVENTUALLY figured out). I know its not as jsut doing something wrong we dont have time to figure it out now.

Aaaannnway, thanks for help on that.

Moldova, whats a proxy and how do I put one on the router? Ive heard it before but dont understand what it is. many thanks

The proxy goes in your browser.

The proxy to use is : webcache.virginmedia.com

The port number is : 8080


How to set up proxy in Internet Explorer 6/7

Step 1 — On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and then click LAN Settings.
Step 2 — Under Proxy server, click to select the Use a proxy server for your LAN check box.
Step 3 — In the Address box, type the IP address of the proxy server. (e.g. proxy.abc.com or 202.188.17.24)
Step 4 — In the Port box, type the port number that is used by the proxy server for client connections (by default, 8080).
Step 5 — You can click to select the Bypass proxy server for local addresses check box if you do not want the proxy server computer to be used when you connect to a computer on the local network.
Step 6 — Click OK to close the LAN Settings dialog box.
Step 7 — Click OK again to close the Internet Options dialog box.

OMG YOU ARE AMAZING.

i cant believe that actually work!

Why isnt this on some Virgin tech support website? and why didnt the virgin tech support guy know anything??

Oh well, thanks so much!!! :D :D

Re: CANT ACCESS certain websites??
 

Well the Tech should know about it as its a standard Virginmedia proxy setting, how do you think I knew about it.:D

Re: CANT ACCESS certain websites??
 

In fairness, it did take three people asking questions here to get the half of the matter out to a point where we could point you in the right direction, and even then we aren't constrained by Virgin Media's support scope. Glad you've got it working though.

Re: CANT ACCESS certain websites??
 

The tech should also have referred him to PC Help given he's using an unsupported device.

Re: CANT ACCESS certain websites??
 

At least between us we managed to find out enough about the issue to get him back online, a good team effort.:tu::handshake

Re: CANT ACCESS certain websites??
 

Honestly guys, I cant believe it worked. Im SO happy now! :D Was really stressing me out. (they took 5 months to install VM so I was already kind of ****ed off with the whlole thing!!) I was honestly starting to think it was VM, but seriously thats the kind of thing they should tell you about surely?

I know its not THEIR router, but I was told to buy it by the sales guy and it was on their website, so I think they should have some responsibily for the fact that the thing didnt have a setup disk.

Next thing is why I cant use WPA properly. oh well, thats not too important at least its protected and I doubt theres any hackers in range, I have a bad enough connection down the hall!! :D
