    I'm not an IT expert, but maybe flushing your DNS may work?

    Most DNS clients cache the results of name resolution requests. This means that the DNS clients will temporarily store the website names that you have been visiting lately. This process speeds up name resolution if multiple lookups are done to the same address, such as is common when browsing the web. Hence, if you visit Yahoo.com second time, the DNS client will already have the name mapped and hence will retrieve the mapping quickly.

    Sometimes a bad DNS entry will be cached and you will need to either flush the DNS cache to get rid of it, or wait up to 24 hours for it to be dropped from the cache automatically. Given below is a comprehensive step-by-step process to flush the DNS.

    I wouldn't do anything until Letters or Jofhn says it's safe to do so though, because I don't want to damage your network connection lol.

    goonersweb.co.uk takes me to the black page.

    The link with /forum after it, to get to the board itself, takes me to a 404 not found white page. I tried it on IE as well because I use Firefox but I get the same problem with that too.

    Jofnn posted some instructions above to get the IP you're getting at home. Can you let us know what that gives? Ta.

    It takes a fair amount of time to finish loading the page, if I click on reply whilst it hasn't fully loaded it takes me to the advanced reply screen rather than opening quick reply.

    Working loads better for me

    No delays
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Yeah, the access I have at work is probably the smoothest it's ever been since we moved.

    Of course I want to use it in the comfort of my own home though where I don't have to look over my shoulder!

    I'll try that IP check tonight.

    Thanks. It's working a lot better for me, even at work (slow ole IE7!)
    Occasionally takes a while to finish loading the page but not had a single timeout since the upgrade.

    Unhappy

    I tried the IP test and I got the one Jofnn mentioned.It's just not working from my PC annoyingly. I've deduced that it's something specific to my browser, because I'm at home now and posting from my iPhone fine. I will try my mates laptop in a moment as well and I don't anticipate any problems on there either.

    Odd. And you've definitely, efinitely, wefinitely cleared your cache to make sure there's no issue there?
