On Mals site I see.... brnt-cache-6.server.ntli.net
brnt-cache-7.server.ntli.net
To be honest, I'm still learning and that might as well be in French, what am I supposed to do with it? It's not that I'm a thickie, it's just that I'm still learning and whilst I've come on in leaps and bounds over the last 3 months, mainly thanks to the help and generosity of you guys, I have to say I'm stumped here.
I should say that I am using the proxy and port 80, and its set to automatically detect settings but not use an automatic configuration script (whatever the hell one of them is!!)

using the 'numbers' version of the proxy address (called the IP) avoids problems where the DNS (Domain Name Server) which 'translates' a name such as 'www.bbc.co.uk' into the IP, isn't working properly.
In practice either the number, or the name, should work - the port should be 8080
Personally I would uncheck, 'automatically detect settings'...
