Re: Gmail

Maybe they changed the address of the site that you are trying to visit?

What URL are you using?

Have you tried pressing Ctrl+F5 when you get the page?

Have you tried changing your proxy?

Re: Gmail

Some times the transparent proxy that NTL use interferes with web pages (or just plain doesn't work properly).

Everything you need (or have ever wanted) to know about proxies is here:

Re: Gmail

You need to read the stuff on the site link that I posted about proxies, scroll down the page until you find the instructions for your browser, use one of the proxies listed in the big green box towards the bottom of the page.

You may have to go through the procedure a couple of times before you find one that works.

If you put in a proxy and you lose all access to the net simply go back into your browser settings and reverse the steps that you took to set it up (it actually might be worth printing the page).

Nice one Mick, didn't know those pages existed.

The second one is ok but the first assumes the OP is on IE
