ebay - can not access

[jonmalco]

Hi,

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

It was working about an hour ago

Thanks

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).

Ok thanks.  Any idea how long something like that takes to fix?

Normally quite quickly

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.

Thanks, Simon. That's what James has just told me.

Seems to be working now

Whatever it was appears to now be resolved.

Strange things, computers.

Indeed they are!

Stranger things are routers and switches

How true.
