NTL have said it isn't a prob at there end, so must be a fault with my setup, anyone have an idea where to start, cos I can only browse for 5 mins then it can't find the server, kazzaa works all the time tho???
I'm getting desperate now cos I can't keep turning the computer off every 5 mins to get it working again.

Open a command-prompt window (in XP or 2000, Start -> Run -> cmd; in ME or 9x, Start -> Run -> command).
Type in the following command:
ping cache1.ntli.net -t -l 1
That's a lower-case L after the second "-" symbol......that'll leave a continuous ping command running, which should give you line after line starting with "Reply from...". When your webpages stop working, check the command-prompt window, and make sure it still says the same. If it doesn't, and Kazaa is still working fine, then there's a DNS-issue with NTL's servers. Drop me a PM if this is the case, and I'll give you an alternative set to use, and show you how to change them...
