o/t - Broadband access

[timbha]

can anyone help - I've given up trying to contact NTL - have been ringing Customer Support and Technical Support (at my cost) for hours at a time for days and cant get them to answer - just mundane messages and music.

I have NTL Broadband running on Windows 98. When I try to log on it just hangs on "detecting proxy setting" - after about 20 attempts I sometimes get lucky. I've checked the LAN settings and they seem ok. (ie auto detect settings is ticked and proxy server is not)

I'd be grateful for any help

cheers (it's better than talking about Coppell)

I havea mate that has NTl and when it doen't work it is because his Tv box thingy has froze or something

thanks - but have tried switching the box on/off but no luck. Once we are looged on we now stay logged on - until someone forgets, exits and then gets crucified!
