I'd just like to thank everyone for their help, suggestions and comments and, of course, their time.
I've had this annoyance for many weeks and, with your help, have found a solution in just over a day!
Thank you.
Hi TigerJones,
Try going through a public proxy (which is similar to what you're actually doing but should allow you to log in etc.) as this should bypass Wanadoo's I would hope.
Wanadoo are probably caching the page as Colin said, using a transparent proxy which will cache the pages whether you want it to or not. However the browser should force the proxy to refresh it's pages if they are out of date.
What you would expect to see if the proxy doesn't have the page/image or what have you is not a 403 error however. Maybe a 404 or in the case if images an 'image/file not found' error. Of course Daz3D may be blocking Wanadoo's proxy for refreshing it's cache (maybe due to abuse - who knows).
Finally it could also be that Wanadoo is not correctly handling a cache site - caching a cache (using their transparent proxy) doesn't make sense.
