I'm a little happier now that I know it's not just me.

Works perfectly though a proxy (using the Switch Proxy plugin for FF). It's OK as a short term workaround, but as I've got no idea who's running the proxy or what they are doing with the data, I'm not going to be putting any sensitive stuff through it.

I can do a refresh DHCP on the router, but so far it's given me the same IP back every time. I'll try releasing it before I go to bed tonight and trying again tomorrow.

Edit: I noticed the mention of webcache.virginmedia.com on the other thread. I assume this is Virgin Media's own proxy - so presumably relatively safe?
