Is anyone having trouble getting onto imdb or is it just me, can someone give me any ideas on how to get on. Thanks

It's alright for me ... what's happening for you?

 

[grayson]

it tells me to refresh and let windows detect settings but nothing workks

Ah, Internet Explorer being 'helpful' (sic) ... what ISP are you with? What flavour of Windows?

Try opening a command/DOS prompt and enter:

tracert www.imdb.com

and post the results, there may be a routing problem between your ISP and the web site ... I'm assuming IMDB is the only site you're having problems with.

Sometime for some strange reason I have not been able to get in on the site to the title page so gone in through an other route if the above does not work try this here

Im using XP and Im on ntl tried the above but didnt work

NTL .. I might have known .. I'm on NTL but a different region. They use transparent proxies to 'help' speed up web browsing, trouble is by and large NTL employee a team of muppets to configure these things and it's not unusual to have web sites disappear.

Best I can suggest is wander over to NTHellWorld (the non-NTL-owned version) and Search for 'proxy', sadly you'll find loads of comments about this and some suggested solutions.

thanks your a star,went over to ntlhell changed my proxy settings and its worked. Thanks again

My pleasure .. glad it worked, most of NTL's customers become proxy experts after a while.
