Right it might now be sorted ????

I suspected that I was being forced through a dodgy proxy somehow, anyway what I did was enter webcache.virginmedia.com and port 8080 into my firefox settings and hey presto my site re-appeared.

Just to test things I loaded IE (without the proxy setting) and nothing.

So although everything pointed to me not having a proxy, it looks as though there was one intercepting somehow (don't ask me how I'm no techie)

I've also got the opendns settings as my name server and that is also working in conjuction with the virgin proxy (thought it might not)

Obviously I'd rather have no proxy but this will do nicely for now, as long as it works!!
