Re: Proxy Server Problems

I get a strange problem with my default proxy not passing through specific page elements (winn-cache-2.server.ntli.net). In the main it is in-page advertising done with Flash, so the losses aren't the most disappointing in the world, but it does mean that I can`t guarantee that Flash content I do want to see is getting through. The curious thing is that it is done with such specificity it almost suggests that someone has deliberately configured this proxy to exhibit this behaviour. The most obvious places where I see this are at Toms Hardware Guide where the adverts don't show, and Planet Gamecube where the interstiail Flash adverts rarely come through.

When I use a different proxy I have no problems at all of this nature (62.252.0.7). I don`t know what the proxy address is other than the IP, but it is the one that a friend with an NTL cable modem in Aldershot uses if that helps narrow it down.
