Brief loss of access to pop3.idnet.com

LesD · Feb 11, 2009, 19:54:02

I have just suffered a brief loss of access to pop3.idnet.com and to the forum and http://www.idnet.net/

Anyone experienced anything similar at about 7:50 PM?

psp83 · Feb 11, 2009, 20:01:43

I've been getting it every night for the last few nights, 5 -15mins at a time.

Sebby · Feb 11, 2009, 20:20:58

I don't use IDNet mail so I'm not sure. No doubt you'll hear from some others, though.

My 2700 HGV Router Detailed Log has this at 8:26 PM for anyone more informed than me but I do see meaningful things like Connection Terminated;
connection lost, reconnecting; Broadband connection lost but I do not appear to have lost sync so far this evening.

Simon · Feb 11, 2009, 21:04:01

Same here, Les, and one just now too.

Glenn · Feb 11, 2009, 21:08:22

I'm not seeing ppp or connection lose, not sure what is happening?

Yep me too. No loss of sync or ppp, just no internet

Its been happening for a while now, not a big problem but getting more regular.

Simon · Feb 11, 2009, 21:34:23

I had a dropped PPP (I think - I don't really understand the logs) at 20:29, but not for the blip at 20:59. Very weird.

This look the very same as the entry from my log Simon.

From the System Summary I can see that the router has been up for 8 hours.

I was not at my machine at about 13:35 when it last went down for reasons unbeknown to me.

Colin Burns · Feb 11, 2009, 21:54:53

Go here in your browser, Colin. You'll need the router password.

As posted in the closed thread, we lost connectivity from the xbox and rebooted our WAG354G router to try and connect.

I probably reported the issue incorrectly in the other thread though. The DSL light lit straight away, but it took 5 minutes for the internet light to come on. I suspect this means it synced, but didn't enable the PPP session, but am more than willing to be corrected on that.

It's a single SSID one but I did a reboot myself just yesterday to try and sync above 3500 kbps to get another 500 kbps on my IP Profile but couldn't quite get there!. My firmware is the BT one, 5.29.107.19 and I thought this one didn't suffer the 300 hr reboot issue. I have seen thirty days in better times but they seem long gone now.

Colin Burns · Feb 12, 2009, 00:08:27

apart from the blimp that made me start who "kicked the DNS server" ive not really had any problems and ive been doing a hell of alot of work tonight running round the net. and my router logs well they are about as helpful as a instruction manual with no writing in it

Colin Burns · Feb 12, 2009, 00:33:32

well so much for not noticing problems had to say it couldnt get to idnetters but the rest of the net seemed fine.

Vodor · Feb 13, 2009, 20:13:13

DNs dropped a few times for me this week, and about 3 times tonight. Changed to opendns again - doesn't really bother me what dns I use but annoying anyway.

Simon · Feb 13, 2009, 20:16:18

Irritating indeed! IDNet are investigating as we speak.

Danni · Feb 13, 2009, 20:25:07

Just had a DNS drop again. Anything I can do to help? My pings are normal.

Of course, if it gets too annoying, I'll swap to open dns

Use OpenDNS (which, imho, is better anyway).
