Would you mind explaining how I can find out those things you asked for?

Thanks!
If you're trying to get to http://www.xyz.com

(1) Type

ping www.xyz.com

on the command line. What do you get?

(2) Type

tracert www.xyz.com

on the command line. What do you get?

(3) Any explicit proxy configuration will be somewhere in your Internet settings. Is there any?

(4) Transparent proxy settings are not obvious from your own machine, you have to know how your ISP works ...

(5) ... which is why I was asking who the ISP is? 'Cos if it's NTL then broken transparent proxies are a favourite cause of the sort of thing you report.
