Well, I've noticed all sort of problems over the last week or so, I can't publish pages from iWeb on my Mac as the proxies are screwing up the WebDAV connections.
That and all sorts of incorrect images showing up in webpages until I force a refresh.

Whats the best number to call to sort this out and get me off a proxied connection permanently, I don't want to be stuck on the phone to an overseas call center for hours

Frustratedly,
Tom

Why not start posting our geographical location. The proxy IP addresses provided earlier was located in Kingston somewhere.

Was going to suggest that.
By coincidence, Be have a north / south divide at the moment. More than the fair share of problems north of the Watford gap (high pings and latency), whereas those of us in London and the South East are OK
Kingston is a major BT network hub. Others are Reading, Ilford, Faraday, Milton Keynes. This is where the RAS's are

Proxy: 217.41.217.22
I live in Camden. (NW1)

Was brushing up on that earlier by coincidence!

Also a quick whois on those IP addresses all show BT Midband for the ones I done... Never had midband but anybody care to comment if they had proxys on it? I know what midband was just never used the service.

The one I discovered last year has the description of "Frame Relay Customer Network".

Again tracerouting it, it's last major network hub is Kingston.

For the record I am in Bracknell. I guess most of our traffic goes via Reading.

Since I acquired an 81.157... IP yesterday I have touch wood been clear of a proxy. The difference in browsing is very noticeable, all these proxy delays make a huge difference when they add up.

Wow guys, am I glad to find this post. Been searching all week for some common issues surrounding Squid proxy issues.

I noticed at the end of last week that the only website I access via an entry in my /Windows/System32/Drivers/Etc/Hosts file started to become unavailable occassionally. This week it has been permanently unavailable.

When in communication with BT via their online Broadband logging system they deny anything is happening with a proxy on their servers.

I very recently upgraded to Total Braodband (still awaiting hub) but wonder if they have changed my account type and now I am suffering from this issue that I have never had before.

I am based in Cornwall and have a BT router. If I switch it off and on again will it be allocated a new IP and may mean I get away from this issue?

Just to clarify, my symptoms are slow display of web pages and unable to access website that has an entry in my HOSTS file.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance with this.
Dave

You tired the proxy tests?

May not be a proxy issue.
