Quick addition to my last mail.. After going to the site using the proxy I
removed the Proxy settings but it still kept going there.. had to delete the
proxyserver key manually from
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings in the registry to clean it again...

this then worked..

Should have looked before I mailed eh :)
