I used to get that error page too, but when I followed the link it took me
to Demons pages. I've not had the 'access denied' error as yet.

I had it, a couple of weeks ago. It started as soon as I used the new
CAB.OVL v1.2704 instead of v1.2618. It seems as though this overlay doesn't
like the proxy cache for demon pages, even though for 1.2618 the proxy was
needed. I had an interesting discussion with the helpdesk about this.
Although I never saw anything mentioned, I think they upgraded(?) the proxy
caching software.

The best thing to do is disable the proxy caching. That way there's no more
errors.

'access denied' appeared when trying to use the error link after viewing the
index of www.the-gap.demon.co.uk

Yep - with NT4 using MIE4 or Communicator.

Turn off the proxy. There seem to be problems with it atm.
Unresponsiveness is the most common for me.
