Thanks Viking, Had a look at the hosts file, no mention of the bbc site or its ip address. Tried to logon on another computer with no joy.

Hope this is helpful

I suggest you forward both of these traceroute outputs to info@lastmile.ie and get them to look into it. Doesn't look like anything wrong at your end from the output of your traceroute.

Thank`s Boards
