cant clear cache

[benluke4]

Hi ive been having a nightmare.

I just went from broadband to dial up and then back to broadband (due to house move) and since yesterday when my broadband was activated again I cant clear my cache and am seeing old pages on some sites i visit.

This is happening on IE and Firefox, ive done the usual delete internet files, offline content, disk clean etc but still viewing pages which are old.

Im using a BT Voyager 205 ADSL Router, somebody mentioned it might be to do with the "Proxy cache" I have no knowledge of this.

any ideas as its realy causing me problems.

Ive tried reinstalling router and resetting it, but this has no effect.


help!!!!

Thanks

Ben

I was going to reinstall IE and firefox, would this help? but when i went to remove IE it wasn't under add/remove programs, how would i uninstall it??

Thanks

Ben

I know this doesn't answer your question directly, but it might help as a stop-gap measure if you need to view up-to-date websites while you are sorting this issue out.

If you want to view an up-to-date version of any URL, append a random number to the end of it:

[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yoursite.com/somefolder/somepage.html?myRandNum=1234[/URL]

You should always see an up-to-date page if you use a different number each time.

Hope this helps,
Dan
