Yeah, this is exactly what I was wondering too - I really can't figure out what going on really, but I've chnged my DNS and everything now works - I've not bothered with the proxies as in someways I don't think that's the problem, it's just the the proxy has an old copy of the page so it can get you that one, so it doesn't have to use the DNS
Although, the NTL proxies are probably resolved via a host table or something, to save them having to go to DNS
