Lost internet access about 10 minutes ago but router is still showing pppoe is up and I have an ip address. Anyone else seeing a problem?
(Sent from phone)
Yes, I don't know what is going on but this seems to be happening regularly now....
I know when it's exchange work (Router doesn't receive connection from exchange), but when it shows IP Addresses such as 172.16.x.x then it's always IDNet's link being down or something.
I couldn't load anything or upload anything via FTP so I guess my connection was down but router still had a connection... DNS maybe?
Exactly the same here. Working now.
Yes... partially lost most things for a few minutes.
I could access some of IDNet but practically nothing else, pings to various places wouldn't resolve.
Sounds like a nameserver had a brief sulk.
I don't think it was a nameserver as I know as a collective we all use different DNS providers.
My Windows 7 reported no net access at all.

Good point :red:
I wondered why my dear wife was shouting at me from the study. >:D Now I know.
Just came on to see what's going on, as the Be Usergroup is talking about you :P

PC had no connection but my iPhone4 that connects through the router by wireless did and that uses google's dns (8.8.8.8) :dunno:
Same here, again! This is getting boring, is it idnet or bt.

The bottom f8lure graph on there is my connection :red:
Glad it's back up again
Same here - down for about 15 minutes, router was showing a 172.16 address so although it reckoned I was connected I plainly wasn't connected to the right thing!

Odd. I was only down for two or three minutes, and still had some connectivity :dunno:
Same problem here, sync and PPP session remained up but no net access. I'm using the OpenDNS servers at the minute so it clearly wasn't a DNS problem. BTW the top f8lure graph is mine :P !
All fine and dandy again now :)
I'm glad it's all better for you :)
I wonder if it's a repeat of the radius server glitch? I have nothing showing in my router log though this time.

There is nothing in my router logs, no disconnections. but i could not reach facebook, twitter or google. I was like a dns error.
Is there an explanation from Idnet on what caused the problem ?
Whatever is was TBB graph shows it was over quick for my connection :

I won't hear anything until Tuesday unless there's a major outage or it appears on the network status page.
It was a weird one... the spike on my BQM is the same as Paul's and, as I said earlier, it was only a few minutes partial loss of service- sync and PPP stayed up.
If it means anything, it hit my IPv6 connection too.
From what I can remember of the things I had time to test:
idnet.com sites behaved normally (pings and web)
thinkbroadband sites resolved but timed out (pings and web). NetConnex peers with IDnet, maybe a clue?
everything else I tried failed to resolve (pings)
IDnet mailboxes were fine, my tbb and 1&1 mailboxes timed out.
:dunno:
Seems like IDNets internal network worked but the connection outside didn't then
I didn't get it this time (20CN, gw5). That said, there has been a few glitches of recent. I hope it's being looked at. I guess if it's just BT, there's nothing you can do, but it'd be nice to know.
What your describing suggests a problem with routing from IDNet onwards, Bill, rather than a BT fault, I feel.
My symptoms were different from Bills however.
Initially websites failed to load (I tried multiple websites including Idnetters and the Idnet site but all failed to load) and shortly after that Windows (7) reported there was no internet connection at all.
I could connect to the router however and this confirm their was a PPP connection and it show my normal IP address and gateway etc..
Ten minutes later it suddenly came back to life.
:dunno:

At least it was short lived.
That's the same duration as mine, I missed it my wife didn't >:D
Wives miss very little, Steve. ;D
Mine was actually down for 10 minutes, a little less than I thought at 1st:
[Internet connected] IP address: <Normal IDNet IP>, Saturday, May 28,2011 15:04:44
[Internet disconnected] Saturday, May 28,2011 15:04:30
[Internet connected] IP address: 172.16.69.1, Saturday, May 28,2011 14:54:30
[Internet disconnected] Saturday, May 28,2011 14:54:18
I had no access to anything past my router - no IDNet sites, no BBC, no anything.

I was even doing her a favour at the time , but I still didn't escape the question "What's up with the internet?"
