website unavailable dns needs refresh?

ive been trying for two weeks now to access www.tvtome.com with no success,
all i get after an eternal wait is a document is unnavailable message,
ive pinged it and received a response, others that i know can get it, ive tried both mozilla (my default browser) and ie, tried getting it from google and links on other sites, tried rebooting my router and sacm, tried cleaning my browser cash, tried on my other pc and a laptop but nothing.
ive been told the isp needs to refresh its dns? im at a loss im hoping someone here can help?

Re: website unavailable dns needs refresh?

I too am having this problem, I usually get one of the Cosham proxies as a default, none of which appear to recognise TVtomes URLs.
I have no idea how to get the proxies to refresh, but as a stop gap, I force IE to use an NTL proxy which does recognize the URLs whenever I think I am going to be referring to TvTome.
In IE6 go to Tools->Internet Options, select Connection tab, click on LAN settings. Tick "use proxy server" and pick a different NTL proxy. I am currently using a Guildford proxy for this, but you can try various to suit you.
Hope this helps.
