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??

ip and dns are automatically assigned - for both work and NTL Broadband. I have no problem visiting sites like google, BBC, .....etc - I have a problem when I try and visit a site which is not so famous or highly frequented.

In my experience, these problems are usually down to the LAN settings.
Usually it's set to use automatic configuration script or to use a proxy server.
If it's either of those you'll need to disable it whenever you have ntl plugged in.

They are disabled for both work and NTL Broadband.
Is this not something to do with the way NTL handle their service? - I have been doing some searching through other posts and their seems to be a strong relation to Proxy servers? - other forum members have commented on problems encountered which bear a strong resemblance to situation I find myself in...
