I have had a similar problem before but this time I seem to be having great difficulty getting my point accross to the support chap - who doesn't speaky gud englishy.
Basically I live in the TS17 area and own a web design company. My business partner lives a couple of roads away from me. I was usung XP and suddenly my email stopped working (mail.clearchaos.net) and in fact even pinging it didn't work. I can access the web site (www.clearchaos.net (http://www.clearchaos.net)) but if I try to get to the admin area which you access by specifying a port number after the address i.e. http://www.clearchaos.net:2082 it fails with the usual page cannot be found error. I tried disabling the firewall, disabling and uninstalling norton and still no luck. All the while my business partner is working away as happily as ever.
So that lead me to believe my machine had the problem so I rebooted into Linux which was working fine last time I used it and tried from there...same problem!!! So I plugged the modem into another machine in my office - same problem!!! I've now gone full circle and think the modem or NTL have to be the problem but because the only example of a site that isn't working for me is one I own they blame the site even though I tell them my business partner can access it OK.
Anybody got any advice / ideas?
:Yikes:
