Re: NTL and myfamily
 

Have tried several of those proxies including the ones you suggested and none of them work for the who's online and chat for this website. Looks like it's off to BT i go :-(

This is possibly due to your PC not having the Microsoft Java client. Sometime ago MS and Sun came to an agreement that MS would remove their Java client from XP.

Now you could be using the Sun Java VM but I know the colour selection bit on the Dulux paint website does not work with the Sun JavaVM. This could be the same.

Could probably find the install of the MS JavaVM somewhere --- MS had to remove from their website.

Nice idea, :welcome: to Cable Forum :tu:

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

I have the MSJVM - as I said in my post before - there appears to be something about the POST request that is causing the cache servers to simply ignore it - and timeout the connection.

Re: NTL and myfamily
 

Didn't see any mention of the MS Java VM (only a suggestion on proxy setting for Sun Java VM). Just a thought on why long-term a Java enabled site does not work for you or your relatives newish PC. As I said a new PC will not have the MS Java VM installed.

As I mentioned, the Dulux (www.dulux.co.uk) has a Java application (called MousePaint I think). Give it a try because if that works it at least proves MS Java VM working.
