Computer Rage
« on: 07 August 2008, 09:00:05 »

Im going to chuck this F@#&ing computer out of the window and them smash it to bits with sammy.

Everytime I go to reply to a question, click on a new page or visit another site, it comes up with Internet explorer cannot display page.

Any ideas, before the computer gets it.

What ISP?  I'm dealing with a massive DNS issue at the moment?

Saying that, you local dns cache should cope.

Clear IE cache and cookies, and reboot router.

IE isn't the problem.  Its what you load in to IE ;) - and Firefox plugins are usually coded as badly, if not worse ;)

Oh, and Firefox is a bit like MI5 when it comes to bugs  :-X

Virgin not affected by the DNS issue.  Are other sites OK, as NTL/Virgin use transparent proxies which they can't get to work too well

Sounds like normal inconsistent Virgin media operation to me!

I'm guessing their proxies are playing up again.

One last thing to try, reboot router, then - Start > Run > ipconfig /flushdns

There are very few (legal) reasons to be using that sort of bandwidth.  That kind of usage is what has buggered up NTL - its unsustainable.  Actually, thats whats buggered up the Internet everywhere.
