make sure you haven't got a proxy server manually specified.

[Richard M]

All sites work fine here in Firefox 1.0PR.

i'm having exactly the same probelm it seems.


i suddenly got cut off of aim. which was odd.


then i noticed limewire wasn't connecting.


now i see soulseek won't connect. aim still won't.



i'm on ntl... are they blocking ports?

[rokus]

of those sites you cant acces, two worked for me, but the google one didn't


weird

Nope, those traces suggest a routing problem just after the packets leave the ntl network.

[Blake]

aye, i'm having same connection problem

tracert to msn fails, and also to astraweb news.

Same problem in the Hertfordshire area - have rung NTL who admit there is a problem, but couldn't tell me what was happening due to a "System failure"!!
