Re: Automated Home Login Problems

["Rob Iles" <rob.iles@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

Does your (home) ISP implement a transparent proxy? I've had issues with BT
in the past, one of the boxes in their transparent HTTP Cache/Proxy farm
went wonky, and caused very bizarre issues with vBulletin (and some other
forums).

If possible, temporarily specify a Proxy server in IE/Firefox on a port
other than 80 - - - google for IP's - there's are a number that run on
TCP8080 etc.

This might help, it did the job for me in the past. It may be completely
irrelevant - so if any has other ideas, please  shout out :)
