NTL Internet access problems - 07 Mar 2006

What happens when you request a page is you perfom a DNS query first, then using that IP send the header information via port 80 (which is intercepted)

Bearing in mind this does not hold if you set your server manually in the internet options.

Sorry my friend but you are wrong.

The fact they are transparent is irrelevant. If you want to test it, add a local host record for a site and point it at 1.2.3.4 - you will still be able to view the site because the proxy looks at the site requested in the http request and does it's own dns look up.

Answering my own post : http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d...cache.html#ntl

Turns out I had an proxy disabled in Firefox from the last time it went pear-shaped; re-enabled it and everything seems OK - touch wood.

Cheers grubbymitts!

I'm still having trouble logging on to sites like google groups, yahoo mail. Oh well, hope someone pays the bill by the morning

[jtwn]

Try cache3-lang.server.ntli.net:8080

Those sites are working right here.

[grubbymitts]

yeah, my bad - advert killer was stopping google.

[verticalforce]

I'm in glasgow here. Yahoo sites, google and countless others are intermittently inaccessible. Lots of stupid servers not found messages too.

I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE! *sob* *sob*

unless NTL use different dns servers for business customers (sorry thats a bad joke)

Burnley & Pendle areas are naff tonight. Google times out and the kids can't get on Habbo Hotel. Some of my usual haunts are not accessible either

Edit: Can't log onto GMail either.

Well for me this and about 4 other sites i use are the only ones i can access, if i was looking for something on google i would never get 8/10 of the pages up i wanted to view.

26 Minutes wait time on the phone up to now so theres deffinately a major **** up with NTL. Wonder if its a Virus? either way i need back my internet before 12.00 coz i am going on quizmania to win some money pmsl

Yep, my connection was sluggishly slow for the last 3 to 4 days but not having access at all now is the last straw......

[Simcut]

Yep, Im having problems too.....

Connected to Ware UBR through Luton main server.
