Anyone using Tiscali?

Right - Turns out not to be my router, so ive gone and got it from the bottom of my garden.



I cannot browse at all now... But i can radmin over the internet to my mums pc, on NTL, and browse that way. How s**te.



Any ideas? Ive tried 3 different adsl filters, a router, a USB modem - still on joy?



Any one else on Tiscali having problems?


You're using Windoze so it's poss^H^H^H^H probable that your box has been 0wn3d. Have you had a look to see what your hosts file contains and whether some piece of nastyware has redirected your nameservers?

Try;

telnet

then;

GET /

press return a few times and if you get a load of HTML then it's browser issues and not network issues. Check your connection settings and then curse microsoft for preventing you from uninstalling then reinstalling IE.

check the proxy setting in IE. tools-internet options-connections-lan settings. should be blank. also check that ie isnt set to use an old dial up connection on the same page of options. then download firefox! :)

Can you ping well known domains? o bbc.co.uk o google.com

Can you browse web by ip? o http://212.58.228.155/ o http://64.233.167.99/

If the answers are respectively No & Yes - then you have a DNS problem. Try switching your DNS servers. e.g.

Tiscali have been playin^w upgrading in europe today - could be a hang-over.

Seems that their DNS servers were playing up.. Managed to browse on my mums pc to find their secondary server ip's. Much better.

Tom - See sig! Firefox Rules!
