Looks like a Poplar Proxy prob again then

I noticed it because I fired up Halflife for a quick game and Steam brought in the weeks update box, but it was empty, clicking the 'News' Box just brings a browser error.

Ho Hum - another day in paradise

Thanks for the answers

Tried Cosham proxy and it works !
cosh-cache-4.server.ntli.net

These proxies I tried earlier do not work with streampowered.com as well as my Poplar default ones:

swan-cache-5.server.ntli.net
hers-cache-8.server.ntli.net
bagu-cache-4.server.ntli.net
colc-cache-4.server.ntli.net

Why do we have to continue to put up with these useless things

Was looking into this earlier on another forum, problems on lutn also.

marvel · 12-09-2005, 20:55

Yeah, dont work for me.

We really need a quicker and more direct way of reporting these proxy errors, I've so far spent over a month with my own personal queries and only today was the Poplar fault with my servers escalated to Network management, I added the steampowered.com site to my problem report but it will probably take another month before that one is looked at.

NTL really need to sort these proxies out, (and Cogent over 450 ping tonight and dead slow to all Cogent routed sites - although thats off topic for here), these errors are far too frequent now and for steampowered.com to be failing on what looks like a good proportion of their network (if my testing of about 10 proxies is anything to go by) is quite frankly pathetic.

NTL's network is pretty poor at the moment - add to this the terrible 'channel 7' problem with their tv, and the delaying of new channel launches because their network is rubbish is just beyond belief - they should be paying us to use their service !

ok [rant over]

It's still possible the problem is on the steam end - I know of one specific example of a proxy problem where the problem was a block on the remote end rather than anything wrong with the ntl proxies, and the affected proxies themselves are working OK for other sites.

IanUK · 16-09-2005, 18:35

I've just had a call from NTL regarding the Poplar proxies, they guy told me that Valve are currently blocking the Leeds and Poplar Caches from accessing steampowered.com, and that it should be sorted in a day or so (not sure how that affects the Hersham/Colchester etc ones but anyway I guess its all related somehow).

Presumably someone has been a naughty boy (or girl) in those areas

Blimey, Cogent and NTL contacting me in one day...I must go and lie down..

Simcut · 20-09-2005, 02:02

Still having problems here.....

any updates from NTL yet?

btw mick, thanks for pointing me to this thread
