You have pinged the wrong thing. You can't ping http://bbc.co.uk as this is a URL not a domain

What you are seeing are replies from OpenDNS's server which is in America, hence the 100+ ping times.

Do a "ping bbc.co.uk" and you will see nothing is wrong ;)

I did try that one first but!

Then your equipment is not routing something through properly?

How do I test this?

I think I still have a USB modem, would using that for a test be enough?

Software, James :) Thanks, PeerGuardian was blocking it :eek:

Comodo normally gets me by not shutting down properly.. actually remaining open in the background :)
