Proxy problem with IE6

[ikthius]

Hey Guys, Not been here for ages,

I mainly use Firefox v0.92 and I could not get the internet to work this morning, so I got rid of proxies looked for another which I got as 62.252.128.5 (cache2 Renfrew area) and I downloaded the rest of the renfrew areas proxies and saved them to a text file for future reference.
I was on 62.252.128.4 (cache1).
Firefox works fine now, but my problem is with IE6.
I cannot access any web page by using any of the Renfrew proxies or without proxies. I just get the The page cannot be displayed message.

I need IE6 to access my yahoo mail for one of my accounts, because since yahoo upgraded their mail I am always asked to download a login program from yahoo when using firefox (I never had any probs previously), which does nothing, and the only way to get into my yahoo mail was through IE6 because this never asked me to download anything.

Does anyone have a clue?

Hi Neil,

Yes I tried all of those on IE6, still nothing works. I used the website you suggested and used http://www.cableforum.co.uk/kb/47/li...-proxy-servers which I found a bit easier to understand.

I have tried:
Renfrew 1 = 62.252.128.4 = cache1-renf.server.ntli.net
Renfrew 2 = 62.252.128.5 = cache2-renf.server.ntli.net
Renfrew 3 = 62.252.128.6 = cache3-renf.server.ntli.net
Renfrew 4 = 62.252.128.7 = cache4-renf.server.ntli.net
Renfrew 5 = 62.252.128.10 = cache5-renf.server.ntli.net
Renfrew 6 = 62.252.128.11 = cache6-renf.server.ntli.net
Renfrew 7 = 62.252.128.12 = cache7-renf.server.ntli.net
Renfrew 8 = 62.252.128.13 = cache8-renf.server.ntli.net
Renfrew 9 = 62.252.128.14 = cache9-renf.server.ntli.net
just putting in for example: 62.252.128.5
but cache 1 - 9 non of them work on IE6, not even if I tell IE6 just to bypass, nothing works. only had this problem from today.

neil,

strange thing, as of 2 mins ago, ie 6 now works without any proxies. I am not sure what happened.

I will try again with proxies with ie6 in the next few days.
