Pipex internet access down??

I'm having trouble connecting to the internet via Pipex. I can connect to
usenet and check my pop mail, hell I can even run Kazaa, but no web pages
will load.

Anyone else on Pipex having problems??

Russell

I can also connect to Yahoo Messenger, Aim and even irc, but alas still no
web pages.

Clearly too bust to sort out this problem while out shopping to buy up
an ISP.

So you can connect.

Err, the problem is almost certainly with your OS/Browser/Antivirus
software or firewall

I *can* connect to Pipex's website but no other, so the problem must be with
them. I've tried checking everything and things are OK at my end.

Have you tried another browser ?

Have you actually tried disabling your firewall/AV software for a few
seconds to see it it works ?
