not sure what else it could be. absolutely clueless

I just got our network admin to clear the dns cache on the proxy and its all sprung into life!! So, either:

* The google.co.uk ip address I set as a dns didn't work
* I didn't set my dns ip correctly
* The local proxy was still overriding my dns settings

The last one sounds most likely to me. I suggested to my network admin that the dns cache lifetime needs to be much less, a day or less.

Thanks for all your help on this by the way!

Glad to see that you got the problem sorted in the end! Yes I would also suggest that the time between clearing the DNS is reduced greatly otherwise this problem will be experienced with any website hostings that are updated in the same way on your work network. Anyway, at the least the mystery was solved in the end!
