Title: ebay - can not access
Post by: jonmalco on Mar 10, 2009, 14:31:16
Hi,

Anyone know why I can't access ebay.co.uk but other websites work fine? 

It was working about an hour ago

Thanks

Jonathan

My guess is a DNS issue at IDNet, as I can access it fine from my works BT connection.

Thanks

There appears to be a routing problem affecting eBay, IDNet are working on it, Jonathon. :)

I am using OpenDNS and pinging it's IP address, not it's URL and cannot connect



No pings, tracert dies

As Rik has just said in another thread, then, it must be a routing problem or ebay are blocking IDNet (less likely).

Ebay appear to have a problem with their DNS this afternoon. It is not just affecting us, other ISPs are reporting no connection to them either.
