I am in Bracknell and am getting poor response for web and ftp connection via the cable modem. Some websites come up as not found (even microsoft.com did it !!) even though i can connect my work laptop over VPN and view these sites.

Anyone else getting poor response at the mo ?

some of the NTl transparent proxies are fooked atm so you might need to go thru another proxy.

The proxies are a pain in the ****. Each one seems to have its own problems. That said I thought the proxies only directed port 80/http traffic and not ftp/https etc?

Working fine here in Aylesbury, did have a http outage for a few hours last week and nntp is always bad in the evenings.

mikelmr

having the same probs here in Lincoln ... sites working/not working at random ... been doing it for the past few weeks and is starting to get annoying !

M J B

ahhhh mine is doing that! (Nottm)

try my web proxy prob program. Chuck in all the proxy address and it will seek the fastest one for you and update it automatically.

It's free and the proxy addresses are freely available on the net.

Soulgirl cant even get on that site lol

NTL starting to really p!ss me off

Soulgirl

Its only 2mb - shall I email it to you with the list of proxy addresses?

****... you have a hotmail addy - wont take more than about 900k... let me see what size it goes to if I zip it....

Damnnnn.. still over 1mb. I could put it on my ftp for you to download... let me know and I will email you over the details..

Im on cache3-blfs.server.ntli.net at the moment - port 8080. Give it a whirl

Fine here in the North East, although a couple of weeks ago it was flakey around 5/6pm for a day or two.

i will keep trying the link, sure it will work eventually

Soulgirl

Lucky you can still get on here

M J B

Soulgirl what exactly do i do with that program? And i have deleted all the proxys from the text file oops

Soulgirl

LOL... paste these back in the text file. For the first cycle keep the pings high - 2 or 3. If you want to continually cycle then up it to 20 or higher.

Here is a screen shot of my set up on broadband.


In internet explorer click Tools>Internet Options>connections>Lan Settings. Check the two boxes like I have. In ProxyProbe, start it off and check the Auto Update box making sure you have set the port to 8080.

Another thing you should do is empty all your temporary internet files and it may be worth clearing your SSL cache and cookies too.

Let us know how you get on.

Edit: oops, forgot the piccie!
