out of curiosity...as the connection is fine at work..on adsl...and doesnt work at home... on ntl... i'm wondering how the laptop has been setup. if its a works laptop, or has been setup by your companies tech guys, they may have set up specific dns settings in the tcp/ip settings???
you can check these by going to network connections in the control panel, open up the lan connection, highlight the tcp/ip and click on properties. the IP address and DNS address should both be automatic. although to be honest, i aint sure if non ntl dns addresses have been specified, and your on an ntl connection, if that would allow you to get to some sites but not others??
