Hey guys I'm having some problems with my internet connection over the last month. I cant seem to access certain websites such as "ebuyer.com" without going via a proxy server.

I'm in Rugby using birm-5 proxy.

I also cant seem to logon to steam any longer either although when I take my laptop elsewhere its fine :|.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this

Change your proxy.

Well I know that, thats all good and well for general web browsing. But I cant proxy games and such.

Some router somewhere has gone tits up for it to do this

Changing his proxy will not help Steam to log in, it uses a port like 27005 or something like that which does NOT get proxied.

Any ideas lads?

What OS are you running ?

TeamMCS2 · 02-05-2005, 20:35

Windows 2003 Standard Edition on the server, the clients are all Windows XP (varients home/pro)

I can take my laptop to another house and I can connect fine :/

Are you sure its your Router? Have you tried connecting the net directly to your laptop?

TeamMCS2 · 02-05-2005, 21:36

The network here is just fine, I've tried connecting directly. Just randomly jimmrigging things to get it to work - no dice.
