damn proxy!
 

recently ive been forced to use a proxy server for my web browsing. This solved the problem with web pages. But, since using the proxy i have not been able to connect to msn messenger, gamespy arcade, my ftp client doesnt work and a load of other programs cannot connect to the internet!

Any ideas? :shrug:

Proxy server rather than webcache?

If you are specifying a proxy server rather than a webcache maybe it's a web only one?

Can't see that changing webcache will make any difference to all of that, I think you might be trying to proxy everything through whatever it is you've connected to, and it only deals with web traffic.

so just keep trying different proxies?

the one im on now is:

62.254.128.4 cache1-oxfd.server.ntli.net

Web browsing fine, everything else fu**ed!

Its ok ive sorted it, turned out to be DNS problem.
