Mick,

Any further news from NTL on the nationwide problem and how long it will take to get sorted. Thanks.

Thought that might help some people till NTL fix their problems.

edit - anyone know Telewest's DNS servers...?
This doesn't work for me, I think the poxy servers also do a look up.

I used to know pipex or demons DNS addresses but can't see them right now.

Internet access fine via work VPN though!

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
its ntl's dns I think or proxy servers but most likely dns.

specifying my squid server instantly fixed all http activity and the only problem I had other then that was msn disconnecting.

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
Telwest DNS serves for those who wanted them -

DNS 1: 62.31.144.39
DNS 2: 195.188.53.175
DNS 3: 62.31.112.39

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
I specified my DNS settings to be 194.168.8.100 as my primary server (instead of automatically being set as the secondary) and google and yahoo worked. However, both MSN and Hotmail still don't work. Changed it back to automatically assign server info.
Also rebooted STB but to no avail.

Can't wait for it to get sorted though, I have email but cannot access it
