Proxy servers gone, having webpage issues
 

Hi all, this my first post, im wondering if anyone can help me out, since virgin pulled there proxies, i cant view some webpages correctly, sometimes pictures dont load ie banners, and when i press the back button, the back button history is a frame of an advertisment, this means i have to press back several times before it goes back!

can anyone help me out??

Re: Proxy servers gone, having webpage issues
 

There is still a virgin proxy server if you want to try it (you have to manually set it).

webcache.virginmedia.com (port 8080) is the address.

Hi i have tried entering that address, i seen it somewhere on the forum, but i get access forbidden when trying to open a webapage :S

Hi thanks for the reply, i have been on the website, and read through it, but still having no luck, would a phonecall to virgin be useful? or would i be wasting my time?

It works ok for me, at the moment ?

sorry if you've done this, but it sounds like you need to clear your history & cookie files?

- how you do that depends on which browser & operating system you have/use ?..?

can u ping the websites you're having trouble accessing?

may well be worth resetting web settings

there certainly should b a working proxy for the ntl side which im guessing your on as the webcache.blueyonder.co.uk on port 8080 is definitely correct for former telewest customers.

if you've not got a working proxy phonin tech support should get you that if they offer nothin else
