I'm really hoping someone can help on this one.
On Tuesday, an NTL engineer fitted the cable modem line, and seemed to do a really good job. Tested the signal - Aok.
I fitted the cable modem (the new Teryon job) to my 3Com NIC, phoned in the MAC address, and went through the autoregistration process. Everything great thus far.
Having done all the setup stuff, I can't access the web. I use both IE and Netscape, and can't get either to work. By the way, I'm using Windows 98 SE (sorry!), for the moment.
The only page I can access is the autoregistration site. I spoke with a tech support guy today who assures me that the transparent proxy is fine, and there are no service problems in the Reading area.
The odd thing is that I can open a DOS window and successfully ping any web server, which tells me that the gateway setting is correct, and DNS is working. So, WHY CAN'T I BROWSE!!??
Even worse, I can't do any internet gaming. For example, I tried AHL - I could get alist of available servers, but couldn't authenicate against WON.
Any ideas?
