Hi
Recently transfered to Plusnet and everything has been fine so far more than happy with d/ speeds ping times etc, only now there seems to be a problem with secure access to sky services ie. mysky login and sky games.
I initially put it down to a problem with sky and as i dont use either of the services didnt really bother with it to much, however after several weeks of abuse from various family members i am now compelled to find the cause. I know both services work, i tried them both today from work so the problem lies at this end.
Skygames
Its a downloadable program you install and pay a sub for, the game has a username/pword that needs to be entered before you can play. The login times out everytime, i know the traffic is being sent i can see it, theres no traffic being blocked in the firewall, and ive tried the connection with it turned off. I can play the 30min demo no problem, but to play longer you need to sign in and thats a no go atm.
Mysky -
Been trying to create a mysky account from this page https://mysky.sky.com/portal/site/skycom/mysky?&lid=GLOBALNAV_MY_SKY&lpos=GLOBAL_NAV clic
Basically shes trying to create an account so she can can send the skygames diagnostic to (oh the irony) , its the same thing again secure https connection gets so far through the registration then times out. Again i know it works as i signed up from work today.
Now i could understand it if it was happening on 1 PC but we get the same thing on 2 desktops and 2 laptops, using firefox and ie7, all up to date, thought it might be java problem updated that no joy. Im now at a loss to explain why secure access to sky doesnt work but every other website i use is fine? Amazon; Hotmail; Ebay etc all fine no problems.
Please help !

I know it's not much help but I just logged into my "MySky" account from my PN connection without any problems.
Can you log in with the account you set up from your work? Is it just creating a new account that's the problem?
If you're running Windows machines, have you made sure that the Windows firewall is disabled if you're running a third party firewall such as Zone Alarm?

Hi
No i cant login to the account i setup at work either and yes the firewall was off when i was testing, its all very strange, if it was all secure sites or more than just sky i could understand. But all PC's in the house and just those sky logins is just downright weird..

Wasn't aware they had a firewall in place.. but no unfortunately after a router restart those 2 changes didnt help either
Think ill take the router back to default and setup from scratch, i'll let you know how i get on.

Anyone else got any ideas???
