Mumsnet website access

Help - I can access Mumsnet through my company dial in access but when I try to go in through NTL Broadband I get the "the page cannot be displayed.." error. This has only started happening in the past few weeks - I would access fine before then. Any ideas?? Thanks

Grommit, am on ntl BB and get the same problem. You need to change your proxy server settings in order to get onto mumsnet. To do this, in Internet Explorer go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings

There's a proxy server checkbox - make a note of anything that's in there before making any changes (it will normally be blank by default) - then put "inktomi2-lee.server.ntl.com" in the proxy server address box and "8080" in the port no box. Then OK it.

You should now be able to get onto mumsnet. This should not affect your ability to browse any other site at all. If you experience any problems with it, simply go back in and switch the proxy settings checkbox off again.
