cant log on to megashares.com

I use megashares on a regular basis but cant log on via plusnet I can get megashares.com but if I click to log on it wont connect and returns unavailable.  This happens when the adress starts with do1 for example http://d01.megashares.com/myms_login.php
I can log in at work no problem so it has to be an issue with plusnet . It only started around a week ago.
Please help

It does work from another non-Plusnet connection.
I notice the routing goes via BT - I bet that is significant!

Re: cant log on to megashares.com

I suspect this has something to do with it:
Quote from: jelv
 7    38 ms    37 ms    37 ms  tun0.ptn-gw01.plus.net [212.159.2.101]

The traffic's getting routed via our IWF proxy.
An internal problem has been raised to address this (ref: 77193).

Re: cant log on to megashares.com

i thought the iwf proxy had iwf in its host name, has that changed or am I remembering incorrectly?

Re: cant log on to megashares.com

is the same thing that's stopping me getting into https://www.three.co.uk/My3Account/Login

?
I have to ask because it used to work fine, then it stopped working on one pc but worked fine through another but now it fails every time I try no matter which machine I use (different OS's different browsers) unfortunately I don't have the ability to try from a different connection though

Re: cant log on to megashares.com

I can load the website but I cant login, its not a massive problem as I can use the various handsets to login with, I know that others have had a similar issue with the 3 website but I don't know if its ISP related or just a problem with the website hence my asking

Re: cant log on to megashares.com

I'm on three for my mobile service and can log in without issue, so it doesn't appear to be a general issue.

Re: cant log on to megashares.com

then its probably something in the pc settings I have causing it, good to know but really annoying to find and fix /
