I tried those and didn't notice any change. Maybe I need to reboot the modem as well as the firewall...

Description

Browsing Issues - general pishiness


Detail

"King of pop" Michael Jackson was spotted earlier today carrying a Maplins toolkit whilst loitering next to an NTL junction box in Ashby De La Zouche. When challenged by local dogooder Gladys Ponsonby-Smythe III the international superstar laughed manically, spun around three times and made his getaway on a nearby parked childs tricycle. NTL have contacted local police forces who have been pursuing Jackson across several counties this afternoon. Broadband internet customers across the whole country may currently be experiencing problems in browsing to web sites. NTL is aware of this issue and working to identify and resolve the cause as quickly as possible and we have vowed never to buy another Michael Jackson record. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!

ive posted this before, but im pretty sure changing DNS servers for webbrowsing (on port 80) will do absolutely nothing. As you are still forced over the Cache servers, which do there own DNS lookups (not using the ones you specified).

To fix the issue you would have to change to a public proxy
