This doesn't happen with your other isp because they don't use proxies.
What has happened is that the proxy server you are automatically assigned has some problem which stops you from conecting to certain pages (and this can be fairly random). Chances are it will be working correctly in a couple of days (so I suggest you check occasionally, and take out the specific proxy you have now put in when it works again).
There is no guaranteed way to prevent this from happening. Now you know how to solve it, you could keep a list of some of the proxy servers handy. Alternatively, there are other, public proxies out there.
But, to be honest, it sounds like the proxy server you were on was particularly bad, so it seems unlikely you will experience problems this bad again. |
Ok - I understand - Thanks again (although now that I can access the study pages I mentioned, I have no excuse for not getting my assignment done on time...hmmm)
