For the benefit of anyone else who might pop in here with this, these are the instructions that I followed:
Quote:
To set up a proxy in Firefox, go to Menu/Tools/Options and select the Advanced icon at the top and then the Network tab.
Now select Connection Settings and click on "Manual proxy configuration", enter webcache.virginmedia.com as the HTTP Proxy and 8080 as the Port, and click OK and exit.
You may need to restart Firefox (or even reboot) for the changes to take effect.
I'm sure other browsers will have similar options in the configuration section.
Many routers also have the facility, which could be useful for problems with other http applications and multiple devices.

Fortunately, I use Firefox, but I've just checked with IE7 and it's still all Ireland-y. But it was simple enough to alter, so here goes with my attempt at explaining it (feel free to clarify things on my behalf, anyone)
In Internet Explorer got to Menu/Tools/Internet Options then select the Connections Tab.
Click the LAN settings button. Tick the use a proxy server for your LAN box. In the address box put webcache.virginmedia.com and in the port box put 8080. Click OK.
Many thanks to ceedee for the original information in the other thread.
