Couple of sites not working...
 

Neither www.gamefaqs.com or www.gamespot.com are working for me - and haven't been all day. Few friends scattered around the country on NTL can load them up just fine.

I'm in South Manchester myself. Any ideas please? Thanks

*moved to proxy and web browsing forum*

Try changing your proxy server and then accessing your sites. Instructions and a list of proxy server addresses can be found in our articles section.

Thanks - worked a treat :)

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

www.888.com also broken here

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

Working fine here Chrysalis

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

Probably just as well. Had to have a look, got attacked by popups (despite popup killer).

I've just got the usual www.ebuyer.co.uk won't work, www.ebuyer.com will.

zeph you not in leicester.

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

Very true, are the proxies there usually poor?

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

sites often break like neowin.net will be broken for a week then work for 1 day before break again, sometimes get "page cannot be displayed" for no apperent reason even with refresh. Speeds were good for around a month until 3 days ago they have gone incredibly slow so whenever accessing a webpage now their is a big pause before it starts downloading data. Even right now 888.com simply has no response but worked fine when I selected a ntl proxy from diff area.

img339.imageshack.us also down on ntl wccp in leics.

img75.imageshack.us

seems the proxies not such a fan of imageshack, people like to use imageshack for forum sigs so this often makes page loading freeze.

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

I believe its all of *.imageshack.us now 3 more subdomains dont work also.

If I specify a proxy works fine its just the leics wccp.

Re: Couple of sites not working...

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

Yahoo is down in Cambridge.

I thought this only happened on Mondays?

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

:LOL: welcome - such irony for a first post :D

I'm not in Cambridge, but have had a couple of 'hangs' tonight, that are not normal - and are not always solved by changing proxy settings, so with it seeming to be affecting more than one area, it 'looks' like the DoS spectre is a possibility, again ???

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

Yup alot of sites arent working at the moment, change your proxy and your be fine, just swapped mine over and can now access all the sites again

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

although some sites aren't working again for me, I daren't muck about with the pc, as my dearest would kill me - especially two weeks before the end of his college course!

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

Here in North West London some sites not working, such as www.google.com

EDIT:

Sites working again, but very slow.

Re: Couple of sites not working...

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

There is a fault reported on the ntl world website:www.ntl-isp.ntl.com/ServiceStatus

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

Thanks for that Jack :tu:

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

Not a lot of use when it's a DNS problem. ;)

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

Now none of the proxies I am using are working for the BBC News site - looks like the PC's will get a rest tonight at this rate!

Can anyone recommend a reliable ISP? :shrug: :D

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

It is working here Chim but with a lot of crosses

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

That's what heppened here at first, Jules, but after a few more attempts it just says 'Problem loading page'.

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

Google has just stopped working for me.

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

I'm going to see about switching ISP's i'm getting fed up with this!

Re: Couple of sites not working...
 

So we are not cross-posting in two different threads on the same issues - I am going to close this one down.

Please continue to post in the thread linked below. Thanks.
