SOLUTION: The MSN and HOTMAIL services not working for NTL/BlueYonder users
1- Goto http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d.h.walker/cmtips/trancache.html#ntl
2- Find the name of a proxy near you [Eg. For me its cache1-mant.server.ntli.net, because im from Manchester]
3- Goto Internet Options in Internet Explorer, click the connections tab, and then click the Lan Settings button.
4- Check Automatically detect Settings.
5- Check Use Proxy Server.
6- Type in the address you found, and the port (NTL is port 8080).
I did this for NTL (should still work for BlueYonder)
My Messenger still wont work. Im trying different things to try and get it to work now.
I will reply soon.
Thanks
-DjweroHmmms
Someone who knows about proxys and stuff (i dont really know much), ive gone options in the MSN menu, and gone to Connections, and said i am using a Proxy, ive tried messing around with it, but still cant get it to work. I need some people to help me with this so we can get it working.
Has the proxy thing worked for anyone accessing MSN services like Hotmail and stuff? If so pleeeeeease reply, so i know that i’m on to something..
Thanks
-Djweroon my messenger settings, the connection isnt using proxy, try unticking it. I really have no clue but what u suggested is really great thanks.
So far, what it could be is that the MSBLAST virus uses port 135, which MSN uses. So people who HAD MSBLAST (NTL had MSBLAST, and all users got the virus when connecting to the internet. 2 days ago everyone i know from Manchester who was on NTL could not use MSN. It has something to do with the proxys, either NTL blocked port 135, to stop the virus spreading, or when u get rid of MSBLAST, port 135 is screwed up. Anyway, finding a new proxy for your ISP and changing it in internet options gets hotmail.com and other pages working, so if you want to check your hotmail, you can do what i said above.
Looks like we will have to wait to see if i can figure out how to get MSN working with proxys, or wait for NTL to re-open port 135.
Thanks (hopes this helps)
-DjweroSo far everything u suggested above is really working like its supposed too if not better, thanks again.
NTL are having problems in nw england, check this link
Hey Trudy, welcome to BigBlueBall! 🙂
I understand you’re new to these forums, so I’ll explain two things that will help you to get your future questions answered properly (and often even quicker). In addition, I’ve also found relevant information about your question.
Before you post, you could search the forums, to see if your question has been answered before. I went ahead and searched the forum for you, and I’ve found this topic with relevant information. I hope it helps. 🙂
Also, you are replying to a thread (= discussion) which is about an English internet provider. Because you are in the Netherlands, your question isn’t really relevant to this thread. Next time, if you have a question that doesn’t fit in a current topic, you should best start a complete new topic with the ‘New Topic’ button. 🙂
Having said all that, I hope I haven’t discouraged you from posting here in the future. Good luck with your MSN problem!
Doei. 😉
I received this message in Lockerknomw which everyone may be interested in… robbiej….

I’m not sure if this one will be persistent as Sobig.F, but we detected a virus outbreak about three hours ago that is coming in at a rate of about 30 to 50 copies per hour which is just about Sobig.F’s initial frequency… Each message is 31-34k (attachment alone is 23k).
If we’re correct, McAfee named this one W32/Mydoom@MM already and categorized it as “high outbreak risk.”
Since this one looks like a pain in the… (something) we created a filter for xTerminator users to delete this pest from POP3 server and save bandwidth (time). The filter can be downloaded here.
If it turns out to be a big one again, I’m sure you’ll know what to do with this announcement!
Still, maybe it’s just a small “puff” like that “hi” outbreak few days ago…
We’ll see.

There is a widespread outbreak of the WORM_MIMAIL.R e-mail worm.
This worm is spoofing the sender’s e-mail address. If you receive one of these e-mails, the person in the FROM: address is NOT the person who sent it to you.
If you are running an e-mail server with anti-virus software that bounces virus infected e-mails, FOR GOD’S SAKE STOP BOUNCING THEM! You are participating in a denial of service attack by bouncing viruses at people who are not infected. You could even infect them yourself! STOP BOUNCING THEM!
If you receive an e-mail like the one described below, DON’T OPEN IT! Delete it immediately, update your anti-virus program and scan. If you don’t have an anti-virus, get one.
