agreed, I also have been misdirected to uk.com, and not through any spyware, indeed, not even from a windows platform :P

you know who owns that dns server and whether they'd mind us using it while ntl's seems to be down?

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
yes, Google & BBC, & Hotmail are not loading full stop, MSN Messenger isn't signing in, all other sites are very slow to load and and images don't load up.
North West London here
Last week they tried blaming it on a DoS attack, what's going to be the excuse this week?
By the way would everyone post which ISP they are on, so we know if its just ****ty NTL or not?
I'm on NTL 2MB

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
SOLUTION!
Ok I just called India. Not expecting them to fix it BUT it would seem there is a temporary solution.
In Internet explorer click
Internet Options
Connections
Lan Settings
Tick the PROXY at the bottom and type 213.105.224.18
Now browse, and EVERYTHING works again.

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
Sorry missed that. I was advised port 8080. But i left it as 80 and its working fine. I presume it works on both.

Not so much a solution as a temporary fix....
Remember that if you specify a proxy server to remove it after the problems are resolved, otherwise there will be a million ntl customers trying to go through the same proxy...

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
Still nothing on the status page (which is still working currently, hardly anything else is now - even this site takes minutes to load now).
I guess NTL will ignore us all as usual, looks like they are the target of an attack like last time, seems not to have affected any other ISP's (nothing on adslguide forum when I can load it).
NTL really need to get a handle on their crappy network, seems they ****ed off the wrong people somewhere along the line -funny how its always them thats attacked...

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
thanks, sort of working now. Hotmail still says 'account temporarily unavailable' but that could be unrelated.

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
They have now posted something on their service status page. Say slow/intermittent browsing due to a network fault, engineers working on the issue.

Re: Connection to BBC/Google etc?
Glasgow here BBC, Yahoo, Apple and various other sires down here.
I'm not getting redirected though. Just page unavailable. Tried using oprea (my prefered browser) and IE.
Funny thing is though that all of the sites ither that one in my favourites are OK, loading a bit slow but still loading.

Thanks. Anyone got a list of the actual numbers of the NTL servers in case this one gets clogged as Marky suggests?
