Thanks MB. Also www.wallwatcher.com isn't contactable - same proxies as before.

Mine is working but I get this page:

DNSStuff

Sorry, you have triggered our rate limiting system. Specifically, you are using NTL, a very poor Internet provider that forces all their customers to share the same IP address (using a 'web proxy'). We are not aware of any other major ISP that does this. It means that when one of their customers does something bad (which happens often), it looks like you did it. Please contact NTL and ask to be removed from their 'web proxy', or find another Internet provider, or you can try waiting until the ban is removed.

perhaps we should put up a message at work saying "If you are currently having problems with the DNSstuff website it is because dnsstuff are too lazy to code their site properly to detect people's actually ip addresses instead of the proxy. You would think that for a site specialising in networking they would be able to do so, but it appears not!

I would also like to point out that accessing any of the categories on ebay.co.uk is impossible at the moment through NTL's Notts proxies, all I get when clicking on a category is an error saying "the connection was refused when attempting to contact altfarm.mediaplex.com", same error is firefox, netscape and IE, everything is normal again when I specify a non NTL proxy.

LOL - what a bunch of complete losers. Apart from the fact that ntl are not the only ISP that does this, you cannot be "removed" and it's VERY easy to extract the real ip address - they are just too lazy or stupid to do it.

Works fine here.

can't access at all or are you still getting that silly error message?

Badders · 17-04-2005, 17:25

No silly message - just can't access the sites.

If you use manc-cache-7.server.ntli.net proxy in your browser what do you see? Does it work?

was getting the error message at home last night, but got some odd results from the testbed today in work... haven't had a chance to fiddle since i last posted on here....

Badders · 17-04-2005, 17:46

It's definitely 'Cannot find server or DNS Error' rather than silly message.

**Paul** · 17-04-2005, 18:58

I cannot access any of those sites from Nottingham - it's as if the servers are just not there - "Cannot find server or DNS Error". I wonder is this is related to the other problems accessing US sites & services (see the dns2go topic).
