whenever I get this, restarting the computer fixes it...

0 problems for me, thankfully:).

Same here, loads of problems...and it's getting progressively worse. Seems the network is on the verge of collapse, yet again. We had the same problems prior to the March fiasco about verifying username/password.

Time for another call to Esat to kick up a storm.

Sounds like their dns server is dead or that your not pointing to it at the moment.....

try some different dns servers and see how ye get on......

This happens me about every month and it's a problem with the modem I think as in my case restarting the pc does nothing. It's to do with the MTU(Maximum Transmission Unit) of the modem. Try unplugging it for a few mins and if that doesn't work use the reset button.

My god.. I've had IOLBB for a few months.. only the past few days i've been having loads of problems to certain sites.. Can't connect to the following to name but a few atm...

http://www.ntl.com/
http://www.ntl.ie/
http://www.entertainment.ie/

restarting the modem got bbc.co.uk and a few others back but I'd love to know a better fix than having to restart the machine all the time.
I'm using a Netgear router and Netgear Wireless AP with a Dell Laptop btw with the Zyxel modem plugged into the router. All is setup correctly afaik

ntl.com refuses to load in a browser.. I've restarted the modem & laptop several times.
I can ping www.pcpitstop.com but cannot load it in my browser Mozilla/IE6.
boards.ie and many others work.
Can't load netsource.ie or ping it either

Have being losing the internet completely on and off, with iol bb. Was talking friends on UTV & IOL dial up and there having problems too.

RobertFoster

I couldn't get onto boards yesterday or this morning...

My iol is behaving like it keeps getting throttled. Also having intermittent problems getting to boards and play.com
