Can't access sites on BT

I can't access any sites on BT in Cardiff.

Strangely this is the only site I've tried which I can access, including obvious ones like Google, BBC, BT.com, The Register etc

Anyone else with this prob?

Re: Can't access sites on BT

Sounds a bit like a dns issue but have you tried reconnecting ?

Re: Can't access sites on BT

Through trial and error I've narrowed this problem down. It seems to have been caused by the fact that I had a large range of ports open on my router (10000-60000) for Bit Torrent.

Is it possible that it could affect web browsing and other services to such an extent? (MSN and email also didn't work when I had those ports open)

I've changed it to one port in that range as I guess its a security issue anyway.
