It's probably a DNS issue. Try changing the DNS servers you use to another
providers and see if it makes a difference. Clear's are 203.97.33.1 &
203.97.37.1

After my redirection problems yesterday, I'm thinking it might be my
computer, but after reading some posts on here, I'm thinking there's an
outside chance Xtra is to blame.

I can't download my e-mail or surf the Internet at all right now. Oddly, I
can read newsgroups. I can connect to Xtra all right, and MSN Messenger
starts fine, but Internet Explorer just gives me "Cannot find server" error
messages, no matter which page I try to access. When it comes to downloading
e-mail in Outlook Express, I got one message and then a "server timeout".

I've rebooted my computer several times, but it hasn't made a skerrig of
difference. So is my Internet Explorer 6 browser finally stuffed completely,
or are others having a lot of problems with surfing and downloading e-mails
today?

If it's my computer, is there anything I can do, short of chucking it out
and getting a new one? But if it's Xtra, I suppose I'll just have to ride it
out.

TIA for any help or comments.

Best Regards

I've had no problems, working sweet as!!

Dunno about xtra dns servers, never had a problem with these either (not
that I know about at least).

Soon after I sent that last post, there was a brief period of normal
operation before Outlook Express and Internet Explorer decided to cause
errors in assorted DLLs. In exasperation, I turned the machine off
altogether and listened to some cricket on the radio for a while, which was
marginally less depressing than dealing with the computer. But having
switched it back on after giving it a two-hour rest, I am delighted and
relieved to report that it is once again functioning normally. So if there
were DNS issues before, they seem to have come right. If it was the
computer, a little nap seems to have done it good. Long may this period of
calm last ...

I just had 30 minutes or so of Xtra not wanting to log me on to their
system. Kept trying to tell me my username/password was not valid on the
domain. Bastards!!
