Access to site from home

[phaze9]

Does anyone know what could be causing the problem that I have..I can access the site from work ( which I am now doing ) but cannot access it from home. I have tried various browsers but they all come back with the same error " cannot connect to server". This message only appears for this site any others I can access no problem.

To date I have tried disabling my firewall and anti-virus, stopped the popup blocker and enabled most things that i can see but the problem still exists.

This problem only started when I changed my motherboard and processor and formatted my drive and reloaded the OS which is XP with service pack 2.

Has my IP been blocked from the site ?

Could be a proxy problem.

You could start off though clearing your internet cache,

I'll look for the link to the proxy list.

Thanks for the prompt reply's and info will look into it tonight when I get home.

Well using a proxy works fine but if I revert back to the normal settings I can't access the site so I have left the proxy settings on.

Thanks to the 2 poster for the help, I can now get back to browsing from home again.

Assuming you were using a proxy, and have changed proxy to solve this problem, make sure you do report the issue to ntl faults so they can work out why the proxy you were on failed.
