Hi All,

This is probably an old topic but I have recently experienced this problem for the first time (on my own pc), in that I keep getting re-directed to outbreak.ntli.net.

I have searched google and the NTLHELL, CABLE Forums for an idea as to what causes it.

Ok, I know NETSKY virus on a pc causes it but I am running LINUX ?
The other thing is My version of Linux is Knoppix which boots from CD and is therefore almost impossible to have a virus. (Everytime I reboot the pc it loads fresh from the CD again - which is nice ;-] )

The only thing I have done recently is upgrade my 750 connection to 2mb.

The NTL TechSupport Line's official answer to my problem is NTL dont support LINUX and they tell me to go and get a local IT GUY to sort it out - "Like Shall I ring Myself LOL "

I know as many others will know, that its not giving me this error because I am using Linux it is something else and I intend to get to the bottom of it!!

I would be interested at this point to hear anyone elses stories on their experiences of this problem.

Tomorow I shall get my WinXP PC on and run through their suggestions "JUST TO PASSIFY THEM" Then I will escelate the problem to their next level of support and keep you all posted!!
