SYMPTOMS
========

The Ad Rotator in the bottom left hand corner of the screen does not link you to
the correct site.

CAUSE
=====

This happens when you access the Internet through a broadband connection. The Ad
Server uses the IP address of the proxy server, so you see the last
advertisement sent through the proxy server, which is usually different.

RESOLUTION
==========

This issue only affects those users who access the Internet through a proxy
server. This is a known issue and there is no resolution at the present time.
