I think therein lies the answers. More or less everybody gets sod all for nearly a week.

HEY NTL! How about a rebate.

Mastic... if your behind a router try the dns 4.2.2.1 as that has worked for me for now.

*** cache1.ntli.net can't find www.google.co.uk: Server failed

But they won't listen to me

shouldn't do

all that will happen is that if 4.2.2.1 fails it will fall back on the original NTL DNS setting.

If anyone needs a walk through on how to set your DNS servers manually give me a yell

I'm not sure, my router has decided its going to take 194.168.8.100 as the primary dns and .4.100 as the secondary, where it would usually be the other way round.

However if I change to my magical proxy it works just fine anyway.

Still very sluggish here in NN10.

ebay still borked.

DocDutch · 07-03-2006, 20:55

for those that want to know the 4.2.2.1 is a general DNS server in the states, cant remember much of the details unfortunatly but got it from my boss a while back for if people got problems with their connections

jtwn · 07-03-2006, 20:57

Change your proxies people! It works.
