Re: https and msn problem
 

i'm having exactly the same probelm it seems.


i suddenly got cut off of aim. which was odd.


then i noticed limewire wasn't connecting.


now i see soulseek won't connect. aim still won't.



i'm on ntl... are they blocking ports? :confused:

Re: https and msn problem
 

of those sites you cant acces, two worked for me, but the google one didn't


weird

Re: https and msn problem
 

Nope, those traces suggest a routing problem just after the packets leave the ntl network.

Re: https and msn problem
 

aye, i'm having same connection problem

tracert to msn fails, and also to astraweb news.

Re: https and msn problem
 

Same problem in the Hertfordshire area - have rung NTL who admit there is a problem, but couldn't tell me what was happening due to a "System failure"!!

Can Browse http but not https or FTP or email
 

I'm having the same issue again as I had back in Feb 2004
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...5&page=1&pp=15
I can browse normal web pages via http://
but can Not via https:// ftp:// or collect email via any client software
last time back on Feb, ntl phoned me after the problem was fixed and said it had been a router problem in Northampton area, I'm in Grimsby Lincolnshire.
please help NTL, the last time it took 6 days to fix, can it please be a little quicker this time. :erm:

Re: https and msn problem
 

It's NTL's way of saying you should be asleep at 2am instead of surfing the web. It's kinda like the reason why ITV show crappy American shows like Judge Judy or Sledgehammer in the wee hours. Think of it as a public service ;)
