i have not been able to bring up www.betanews.com now for this last week.just want to know if anyone else can access this link.

[Daim]

i can acces www.betanews.com

[tastyweat]

fine for me

[MIG-31]

thanks. but is still a no go for me.

there goes a good site for software news. for the time being.might have to contact my isp for this one.

jb are you using a proxy to access the internet.

If not, your isp is likely to have its own proxy which you should be able to use and that should sort the problem. If you are already using the proxy then try turning it off and see what happens.

My ISP (blueyonder) uses webcache.blueyonder.co.uk port 8080 and If I dont use this then I cant see BWX's sig or hosted images. Works fine with the proxy on though.

It may even be an idea to use the blueyonder proxy if you can. I'm not sure how they have it configured so you may be ok. Otherwise you probably wont get anything if access is restricted to blueyonder customers.

edit: works fine for me btw

Sorry mate, I'll try again.

In IE6 goto Tools->Internet options->Connections->LAN Settings.

At the bottom of the page you will have Proxy Server settings. In here is where you need to enter your proxy server details such as webcache.blueyonder.co.uk on port 8080.

Give it a try. Like I say I can't guarantee that it would work as it may be for blueyonder customers only but its worth a shot. It might be worth looking for NTLs own proxy server. They should have details on their support site.

[MIG-31]

must be for blueyonder customers. access denied on all pages.

[MIG-31]

thanks m8 for that bit of info.

just done some extensive searching through ntl help site as i could not find the info.

so went to do www.ask.com done some searching through there and found it.

cache1-nott.server.ntli.net port 8080. from cableuk,with a list of 8 or so others for backup.

betanews now loads. will be trying others sites to make sure all my other lnks are fine.

thanks to all who replied.
