If you call any ISP 1st line they will always try to eliminate any problems on your pc.

Recent Windows updates and security program updates have left numerous people unable to access websites or just certain sites.

So don't be to hard on them.

I would sugguest you reset your tcp/ip and winsock catalog and flush your dns resolver cache after rebooting your modem (of course). Also try disabling your security software.
And then in internet options delete all your files and reset the settings in advanced.

You might as well try it before they ask you to do it !

It does work most of the time unless there is an issue with the Isp but they don't know that as outages do not always hit every cust in the same area, it can be very random.

Have I mistaken that knowledge from my GSCE or A Level then ?

Working as 2nd line Tech for a competitor, I hear this everyday.

'I am a computer tech, so i know the problems not at my end' etc........

Strangely enough 9 out of 10 times the problem is at their end !

Recent updates on vista have been a killer !
