Since i swaped to ntl broardband as of late i cant click on any ebay auctions I can access the site ok and search etc but everytime i click on an auction this comes up...

 

I have NO IDEA pal - NEVER seen that before

 

Its doing my head in i cant spend all day browsing ebay

 

Looks like links are being downloaded as files and saved to your computer rather than opened up in a new window.

More likely an Internet explorer setting ...

Does it only do it on Ebay - or everywhere ?

 

thats a right click save target page ??????

is it a works linked pc maybe ebay and alike are blocked

but it dont look right to me

DOES THE TARGET FILE SAVE

if so check where it goes in your program files

something not right there

 

Hey mate just ebay

 

is it a works linked pc maybe ebay and alike are blocked No my home pcs



DOES THE TARGET FILE SAVE No it cancels after a while

if so check where it goes in your program files how do i do that ?

 

What happens if you right click the ebay link and select OPEN IN NEW WINDOW???

 

Go to My Computer > View > Folder Options > File Types (or control panel, folder options depending on your operating system).

Scroll down until you see the "URL:Hypertext Transfer Protocols", click twice to edit, ...... what does it say in the action box ?

Im hoping it says "open" and not "save"

 

 

That should be : My Computer > TOOLS > Folder Options > File Types

 

Well my Win98 system here says "View"

XP machine is at work so from memory didn't do too bad

badcompany..... please post answers on the correct thread

you said trust ..do you mean trend ..its changed now

and the programs gone a bit wierd ..because it was SO GOOD

hackers used to use it "it was that good " so now its fooked

 

Its a problem between Ebay & NTL. I suffer the same as you mate.

You're not the only one, stop by the Ebay forums on there and see how many people have the problem.

 

That's because Steve Gibson is the most paranoid man on the entire internet!

 

snowy astra is right, its an NTL problem, the good news is that you can fix it

NTl use something calls transparent proxies, when you visit a website you dont get the data directly from th site, it goes via a proxy server at NTL. this is intended to speed up access to websites (plus save NTL money on bandwith) now, these proxy server are always playing up so what you have to do is force your PC to use a new one

this web page has a list of the proxy ser ers (its a bit out of date but most stil work)
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d...cache.html#ntl

there are also instructions on how to change it. but in brief..

Tools... Options... Connections... LAN SETTINGS... and put in the address in the proxy server box (bottom of page) and port 80

 

I've been surfing the glasgow exchange proxy for all the time i've been with NTL.

I felt a bit uncomfortable having a whois search returning the Hersham proxy (which is right next door to me literally) what with my car pics being about the place.

Might change it later to the manchester one.

 

Cheers guys it WORKS !!!!!!

 

And your a fucking spammer!
