ADSL problem...

[zoopedup.com]

Greetings Gents... I eventually got ADSL 3GB cap... woohoo.. not quite :mad:

Ever since I got the ADSL I cant access some admin areas of my forum (www.zoopedup.com/forum) and I have problems registering domains...

My ADSL is setup just by pluggin in your lane cable into the hub and "make a new connection" in Windows... you have to connect everytime if u wanna access the ADSL line... no automatic DHCP server...

now all of a sudden I can check my mail - Googles gmail - and login to skype (both American services so no cap problem YET!) .. but I cant surf the net or use MSN IM!???

Does Telkom put me behind some sort of proxy? I can check my mail and use SKype but no MSN messanger and no browsing...? WTF?

I tried calling help desk... but lets not get into that... :eek:

any help much appreciated...

Let's start with the usual bakground questions

What is the make and model of your modem/router?
Is you PC standalone or part of a network?
What is your OS on the PC?

Did you run the CD that was provided with the modem/router?

We will see what can be done to help.

Cheers
Chris
