Title: DNS problems?
Post by: u006852 on Jun 08, 2009, 14:14:35
Hi

Anyone else seeing DNS problems today?

Been getting a lot of "internet exploere cannot diisplay etc"

Retrying the page will bring it up.

Tried the obvious rebooting router.

Was on GW6 but was moved to gw5 a couple of days ago.  Presume it's unrelated to those issues.

Try switching to OpenDNS and see if the problems disappear.

I was having a similar problem this morning, I was unable to access any sites that are hosted on servers in The Planet Datacentre in Dallas but everything came back to normal a couple of hours ago.

Still on GW6 BTW.  :)

I wonder whether there was a routing issue somewhere?

Just had a look on Thinkbroadband and it looks like a problem with the connection between Linx and The Planet:

Linx has probably re-knitted the fibres. ;)
