tell NTL to update their DNS servers.

and, a simple google search will solve your "i got no proxy" issue. http://www.google.com/search?q=proxy%20list&svnum...fe=off&sa=N&tab=iw

ok yes that should solve my proxy problem. now then regarding ntl. they told me that their servers cache is up to date so that you guys's isps are obviously running on servers that havent updated their cache recently and thats why you can still see these sites and that as soon as those servers get updated you will experience the exact same prob i am having.

yay i added a proxy server to my internet explorer settings and now i can access both sites perfectly. thanks millennium edition for being so patient with me i know im a pain in the butt so thanks. now then how do i ungrey my options button on messengerdiscovery?

to ungrey the options just sign in and back out again and if that dnt werk exit msn and then open agen

umm heres a though on reading the news page @ www.messengerdiscovery.com it says that messenger 7 compatability will be added in version 3 which is being released in 2005 and current version is 2.6.1 so maybe those greyed out options are greyed out cause md is not yet compatable with messenger 7.0. by the way si_singh your suggestions didnt work.

what proxy u using stuart? i got msn 6.1 and that sorted mine, so prob depend on the msn.

im using the following proxy:

host19-225.pool8018.interbusiness.it port 8080

Config:
msn messenger 7.0.0332
messenger plus 3.40.107
messengerdiscovery 2.6.1
windows xp pro sp2

ok cheers man.
