Almost 100% sounds like a proxy issue to me.

What proxie's have you tried to specify within LAN settings?

Hi Carter,

No - no proxy settings/addresses in there.

Hi Kev,

I took a look at the NTL site and also sites pertaining to NTL proxy servers. I input the 8080 string and tried several differant regions (Guildford...etc) . What happened then was a complete loss of internet access - when I went back to the default, i got access back - but still the problem whereby I can't access sites which I can readily access at work through the Bt account we have.

I literally have just logged on to one of the websites relating to the study I need to carry out and i had no problem. Last night I was tearing my hair out as NTL Broadband kept giving me a "page not found" error.

How does the ADSL connection connect to your laptop? Ethernet, wireless or USB.

Would you be prepared to share the site name you cannot connect to?

Hi SMHarman

Thanks for asking - you may have a point.

I use USB at home - ethernet at work

I do have the option to use ethernet at home though. I wil try this later today.

If still no joy, I will post web sites I have problems with (is that allowed) or i can mail you direct. They are nothing special.

Thanks

Are you restarting your laptop between connections, or just putting it to sleep.
Switch the home connection to Ether and your problems might go away, it is a better connection anyway.
Post the sites, mods here only get botherd about links if they are viral or spam or similar.

OK - I have now connection to my NTL Broadband account via ethernet.

Still problems visiting web sites

Below are some of the links:

http://www.supersurvey.com/

http://www.eyemg.com

http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/gehani94compose.html

All I did was type a random name into google - in this instance "compose".

with the first one or two pages, I could navigate the links -as soon as I go any further through (p3 or 4 of google for instance) I get the "cannot find server" error on around a third of the links.

Anybody out there can shed some light, I would apperciate. Driving me crazzzzzy.

Thanks
