deagledaddy Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 This may have been posted before, however it certainly was of use to me. I had been having issue with some sites such as Ebuyer not loading up properly etc. I knew it was NTL being ghay howerer untill i found this site i didn't know the solution... This is particually relevant (worked for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deagledaddy Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 To set an explicit web proxy in Internet Explorer for Windows (the second link) theres a guide for both IE and Fire fox etc. Basicly you set a proxy thingy up. Port 8080 and any one of those different sites listed in the green at the bottom (suggest one near to your location perhaps).Has worked a treat. Went from jsut about being able to laod pages of ebuyer up and sometimes it disconnecting, to being able to use it normally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantham Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 haha nice one josh really works for me ebuyer took ages to load, did that and it works now, thanks buddy should i just leave it on now? no need to turn off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deagledaddy Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Its bound to say somewhere on that extensive site, i not read it all yet. I think it might be best to turn off (go back to defualts) unless you need it for a particular site perhaps. Not 100% sure if it actually has any security risks, provided you don't use tht address for all the proxies (which it tells you to uncheck etc.)Perhap Danny/Tom etc. would be able to shed light on what its all about more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly C Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Helped me out to get onto the Dell site which I couldn't access from either of my 2 PC's and managed to download all the driver updates for my system.I've turned the proxy back off now though, if I find other sites that dont work I'll just turn it on when I need it Cheers Olly.

spode@thinkbikes Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Basically, the sounds of things NTL run a proxy server (transparantly to us, as we don't have to specify a connection to it) which caches web pages. So if we try and connect to Google, it probably comes from a cache on the NTL servers rather than from Google itself. This saves costs for NTL as it costs them everytime they connect outside of their own network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
