What symptoms do you get when it doesn't work Ian?
If you go to a command prompt, can you ping the site by name? It should resolve to an IP address and reply.
If it does, it proves that DNS is working ok.
If it doesn't, try entering
http://109.203.120.15/forum
Does that work?
If it does, it suggests that the Sky DNS Servers are challenged.
You should be able to replace the Sky DNS Servers with OpenDNS or Google DNS server addresses, but if you have a Sky router, I think they're locked down. If so, you can add these alternative DNS Server addreses directly on the device.
I assume you've tried a cold start on the router/modem!
