Well, I don't understand the techieness behind it or why it affects dell.co.uk & not other sites!

I just remembered I'd read somewhere that some router/DNS server combinations don't handle the translation through the router very well if the DNS server addresses are assigned by DHCP...

I just suggested 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2 as they're the ones I've had in my router since ntl's were playing up a while ago. They're also easy to remember!

I'm not sure, but it could be if you put the ntl dns addresses (194.168.4.100 / 194.168.8.100) in the router manually it might fix the problem as well. That's if you don't want to use the alternative...

Glad it's fixed!
