For no apparent reason I am suddenly unable to connect to eBay via Internet Explorer 5.5. All other sites appear to work normally. I have specified a proxy server ''hudd-cache-7.server.ntli.net' as I can't use Yahoo Mail when using the automatic option. Even if I return to that method it makes no difference on eBay. I do also have Mozilla Firefox and can access eBay normally via this route. It is just a puzzle why this one site had suddenly stopped working with IE5.5.

It has been suggested that I ping the connection but I am not sure exactly how to do this. I gather that in Windows ME you click Start then Run, type "Command" then OK. This brings up a MS-DOS prompt box but what next?

As always any advice would be greatly appreciated.
