connection problem ?
 

I get odd connection problem with uk websites.
I can be visiting sites ok but suddenly get "page not available".
After leaving ie for a while i can return and all is ok again.
Happens everday for past month or so.
Tried nslookup on sites and no problems.
Done the usual modem reboot etc.
Any info appreciated.

I usually only get that with this site (and no-one has explained that either) :shrug:

Re: connection problem ?
 

Could be a dodgy cache server - have you tried manually specifying another ?

Re: connection problem ?
 

Tried alternate proxy, if that's what you mean, with no improvement.

Re: connection problem ?
 

It was.

Are you using a router at all, or any form of NAT ?

Re: connection problem ?
 

i connect direct to modem (ethernet).

Re: connection problem ?
 

just been checking sites and after visiting a few all was ok and then at 12.07 gone again and still no access 12.16.
the sites are:
adobe.co.uk, abxzone.com, theregister.co.uk, nebula-electronics.com,
currys.co.uk, pcworld.co.uk.
I can visit nthellworld & cable forums + some other uk sites ok and all other sites are ok.

What DNS server's have you got configured ?

Re: connection problem ?
 

Obtain dns server address automatically is setting in ip(tcp/ip) properties.

Re: connection problem ?
 

Try setting them specifically ... I use

194.42.224.130
194.42.224.131

See if that helps ..

Re: connection problem ?
 

I'll give that a try and see if any change, although all returned to normal at 12.20 and so will probably be ok for a while anyway.

Re: connection problem ?
 

just tried that myself and it appears to have solved the problem , well at least for now :erm:

Re: connection problem ?
 

Looks like NTL DNS playing up again in that case:D

Re: connection problem ?
 

Remembering that changing your local dns servers will not make a blind bit of difference to web browsing if you are routed via the transparent proxies - since they still use ntl's.

Re: connection problem ?
 

Are you sure, because when ntls dns is broke it is possible that you can specify a non NTL dns to get the connection working.
Even through poxies

Think we need the BBK or Justanothernoob view not sure what you said is correct
