Hi all

when I try and visit Google I get this message:

A license has expired on the Proxy, and your request is not permitted: "The SGOS license has expired"

What does it mean? No, scratch that: what can I do about it?

Rev, first thing to do is reset your Router & restart your PC.....
 
Have you tried inserting the pumpf spoke or better still the giggle pin?

The only other option is to smucktate it aviarally.
 
The answer at the ground level is that your ISP runs some sort of transparent/forced proxying (usually so they can cut costs by trapping popular pages and serving them internally without incurring transit costs externally) and they've cut costs so far that they forgot to renew the licence on the proxy (or forgot to reactivate it after maintenance).

Snap....bet it will sort it out
 
Tried that but to no avail.

Is there a particular order I should turn them off / on in?

What about re-setting the modem? (It's a modem+router all-in-one. I think.)

have you just turned the PC on and off or have you done both the PC and the Router (Modem/Router) ?

Just that i did a search and on alot of tech forums, the people that have the "license has expired on the Proxy, and your request is not permitted: "The SGOS license has expired" message have managed to clear the problem by restarting both PC and Router.

Do them both, Off at the same time, then on at the same time...and see if it sorts it

Common factor... ISP. Likely fault therefore is at the ISP - as I said, with their "transparent caching proxy" - not so transparent now though eh?

If it does happen to clear apparently by restarting the modem, it's more likely that the problem has been fixed at source...
 
Lo and behold! All is back to normal.

Thanks for the tips and tricks, not sure what was going on. Looks like the ISP.
 
It was most likely the ISP, web caching is commonplace these days and can get its virtual knickers in a twist. I don't use a proxy but I might still be getting pages form my ISP's cache and not know it hence the term "transparent caching".
