Connection problems?

The announcement seems to have come several hours after problems first arose?

If so, it might cause less frustration if precautionary announcements of upcoming work were posted. Just a simple there may be problems tomorrow.

Can't argue with that, Dave, although there is an announcement here.

In early days of TV you used to get a card saying "there is interference, please do not adjust your sets."

UPDATE:

I've had a chat with Simon, the update caused a problem meaning that all their routers had to be re-booted. This resulted in loss of connection to the world for most people, in some cases it involved a loss of PPP (me!). Things should be OK now, and Simon did not expect any repeats.

Me also, Rik, but I didn't notice it I was too busy eating my peppercorn ham sandwich at the time.

I delayed my chicken and hot chilli sauce sandwich until after, Ray, martyr to the forum that I am.

Now that's what I call dedication beyond the call of duty, Rik.

Rik · Jan 28, 2009, 14:16:01

Me too.

Announcements coming after I'm having problems don't help

As I'd redone my port forwarding in the firewall before I left for college (I knew they'd be reset

) I knew that by the time I'd arrived (10.15am- I was very very lucky, as that was my lesson start time) my internet was working again, so it was fixed for me somewhere between 8.45am and 10.15am

Rik · Jan 28, 2009, 16:31:32

You missed the 12:30 downtime then, Danni.

Danni · Jan 28, 2009, 16:36:38

Indeed- I was learning algorithms for drawing minimum spanning tree graphs

Rik · Jan 28, 2009, 16:59:40

I've always wanted to know how to do that.

You need to get out more!

This is true.

PPP loss 13 minutes ! I wonder if that's related to yesterdays events?

karvala · Jan 29, 2009, 11:37:30

Yeah me too (and yesterday, and a stale session on Monday: this has not been a good week for my connection!).

Simon · Jan 29, 2009, 11:39:21

There seems to be a problem with one of the routers, which they are working on.

ST Driver · Jan 29, 2009, 11:39:39

Lossed PPP at 11:21 back at 11:31
back to normal now

And me, rebooted the router, still a little slow but at least I can connect

Rik · Jan 29, 2009, 11:40:58

An unexpected glitch as the new router was 'introduced' to the network, I gather.

scook94 · Jan 29, 2009, 11:42:50

Experienced the outage here too...

Steve · Jan 29, 2009, 11:43:41

A long handshake something from the last Century meeting something from this Century.

Rik · Jan 29, 2009, 11:44:17

Could be.

Ted · Jan 29, 2009, 11:45:21

I really should really pick a better time to be messing about with Telnet and DNS servers, i hit saveall and the whole thing went down

I like that idea, except if there is no connection then it would be difficult to see the card.
