One problem, If your computer in not reconized as being in the UK you can not access it. I would like to be able to access this material, is there any way I can fool their server so that it thinks I am in the UK ? Would using a proxy server work? Thanks for any ideas Paul	Paul Camford (10007)

438907	2006-03-17 22:22:00	Hi Stu, Thanks for your reply, I have never tried to use a proxy before and am a little confused on finding one and using it I have just googled "proxy servers" and I have found lists of proxy servers. All I can seem to find are lists of numbers such as 194.80.38.243:3127. This number shows as being in the UK but if I past that number into Firefox link bar it goes nowhere. Can anyone explain finding and useing a proxy to a non-nerd ? Paul	Paul Camford (10007)
