Mines has been fine from yesterday! No problems now.

I know secure sites aren't proxied, however there's been problems with the login to some sites like ebay and yahoo previously regardless, always on inktomi servers, and presumably because while the login page itself is secure the login process switches between secure and unsecure pages.

Regardless, if you are telewest users in Scotland then the above is academic as there is/was a known fault (see the other thread).

I solved this problem by checking

start --> Run services.msc

A program I installed recently added a hidden proxy server. Check the services and disable anything related to proxies. Unless you set something up yourself then it is not needed.
