Tick the "Use a proxy server" box. And copy this in to the first field below:

glfd-cache-1.server.ntli.net

The second field you should type 8080.

This might clear up your browsing problems.

Thanks for this. I will try this procedure tomorrow and get back to you...

It'll be fine for a little while; but you just know what will happen now, everyone reading this thread will point their browsers at the Guildford proxies until they keel over under the load.

The Ashford one's seem good as well -but everyone else stay off-they're mine, all mine I tell you!
