Techie Help Needed Please
One of the websites I frequent www.eventsrescue.com is not loading for me since Thursday. There is no problem with the actual website as other people I know can access it. This is the only site I'm having problems with - I keep getting Page Not Displayed blah blah blah.
Does anyone out there know why this could be happening?

I had this problem with the Kryptonsite website several weeks ago... it was really frustrating but it righted itself after a few days... weird thing was i could access the site at a certain time each day or sometimes just not at all, i kept getting a DNS error when everyone else accessed the site no problems... Initially they thought it was a problem with my phone line, that i wasn't getting Broadband as fast as i should've been (a problem which is still ongoing but i can access my favourite sites with no real difficulty now).
My thread on the same subject is about somewhere
And incidentally, i could access the site and i don't have NTL world

I had this problem with faceparty and T21 a few weeks back.
Try deleting your history and cookies files. That should work.

If the cookie clearing doesn't work and if you've already tried clicking CTL/F5 and the cache hasn't refreshed (from old memory files)
Then have a check in your internet tools, options and connections, LAN settings to see if you are automatically detecting your broadband connection.
You could always experiment to see if manually changing your server (by clicking proxy server and advanced) to any of the following options on here may cure your problem.
Sometimes when NTL have done server updates, Teresa and I have had similar problems, then after a while you can click it back to automatically detecting.

Setting an explicit web proxy in Internet Explorer for Windows
The following procedure works on all Windows platforms running Internet Explorer 5.x/6.x, and the procedure for Internet Explorer 4.x is very similar:
* Open Control Panel Internet Options (or, in IE, pull down menu Tools and select Internet Options...).
* Click on the tab Connections.
* Click on button LAN Settings.
o UNcheck Automatically detect settings.
o UNcheck Use automatic configuration script.
o Check Use a proxy server but ensure that the boxes are left blank.
o Click on button Advanced:
+ In the row HTTP fill in the name and port number of your chosen web proxy server (Jola: cache1-asfd.server.ntli.net). It is essential that you do not select port 80, even if your chosen server offers a proxy service on that port.
+ Ensure that the other rows are left blank.
+ UNcheck Use the same proxy server for all protocols.
+ In the Exceptions box enter: 192.168.*
+ Click OK.
o Click OK to exit LAN settings.
* Click OK to apply the changes and exit Internet Options.
The last few stages in Advanced avoid using the proxy for Secure HTTPS and FTP traffic, and ensure that you retain local access to any cable modem diagnostics pages and to any NAT router setup pages, which typically use addresses in the range 192.168.xxx.xxx.
To return Internet Explorer to normal operation with no explicit web proxy:
* Open Control Panel Internet Options (or in IE pull down menu Tools and select Internet Options...).
* Click on the tab Connections.
* Click on button LAN Settings:
o UNcheck Automatically detect settings.
o UNcheck Use automatic configuration script.
o UNcheck Use a proxy server.
o Click OK to exit LAN settings.
* Click OK to exit Internet Options.
Try That ^^

Keep an eye on the NTL forum in this place. It a useful place to go to when connections start misbehaving.
It's not uncommon for NTL proxies to play up and as soon as someone reports a problem, another user will suggest an alternative NTL proxy to use. It's normally quite accurate too as (though they don't openly advertise it) a couple of the forum members are actually NTL engineers.
