Thanx for all your help, last night at 1.30am I was able to visit the dancing kittens at
www.b3ta.com again, and today seems to be OK too.
I've had a read of all the links you provided, thanx. I've printed off a copy of all those Proxies for future reference, should this happen again.
Funnily enough, in 3 years of surfing, this was the first time I've had probs like this, so it hasn't been too bad all things considered!
