Re: NTL DNS proxy related problems?
 

UPDATE:

I've downloaded and installed netscape, as recommended by slimshady, and the problem doesnt happen when I use it.
Does this mean it's a problem with my configuration of IE or is it still as I suspect a proxy problem?

Re: NTL DNS proxy related problems?
 

Confusing..... - thats really wierd - it could be IE but then again it might be the damn caches :S - I'm probably a bit stuck here - What version of Windows is it? - I am assuming XP - maybe try running Windows Update and Scandisk and then deleteing the temporary internet files...also might be an idea under XP to try under a different user profile??!?!

Re: NTL DNS proxy related problems?
 

I'm using Win98 and IE6.
I've ran windows update earlier today and still no joy.
The only thing I can think of is a rogue reg entry causing a conflict somewhere, it seemed to happen after installing google toolbar, but I've used hijackthis and weeded out most of the entries I can do, but still no change.

Have you tried running adware to check for rogue registry stuff?

Re: NTL DNS proxy related problems?
 

Yes and RegClean.
I can use Netscape or set a non NTL proxy to get around the problem, but I like trying to figure out the cause of this type of problem.

Not any more....

"The JWCS would like to advise you that the National Cache Service has now closed as of 3rd December 2002."

Re: NTL DNS proxy related problems?
 

Maybe, Theres still caching at nearly every institution on SuperJanet tho... I was just diging that out for some reference. Tho I believe most of the time they just close port 80 and make you specify a proxy.

Re: NTL DNS proxy related problems?
 

So were not getting much nearer to find the answer.

Have a look at the proxy list on

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d...cache.html#ntl

and see if any of the "Ink" ones make any difference.

Re: NTL DNS proxy related problems?
 

I'm not sure if I'm doing it right?
But if I set ( 195.40.1.250 ) as the proxy in the My Connection Settings section I dont get the problem occur.
If i type ( cache1-brtn.server.ntli.net ) as a proxy in the LAN settings I still get the problem. :dunce:

Edit: Just used ( cache1-brtn.server.ntli.net ) in the MY Connection Settings Proxy section and problem is not happeing. Solved problem but still not sure of cause. :tu:
