Post upgrade problems

[Rik]

Hi all.

My connection has been up and down this afternoon. Yesterday morning my connection went down and support said that it sounded like I had a "stale session" but got me fixed in about 15 minutes or so. But I've had three outages in the last hour or so. Is this part of a post upgrade problem too?

(I'm subscribed to IDNet's support RSS and don't see anything on the Support status pages, not sure if I should sit tight or contact Support).

If you mean it lost sync, then that's a local issue. If you had sync but couldn't reach the web, it could be BT or iDNet.

Those that can are fixing, those that can are answering the phone and one person is swanning around Egypt. Hi and welcome to the forum at one of our bedlam moments.

Thanks

It was initially blamed on a resolver, due to events over the weekend, but on examining the logs, it's an external routing issue, apparently. Blame rolling 24 hour news trying to keep people in the loop.  

With DNS being so fundamental, it often gets the blame for routing issues, so I am used to denending it's honour   LOL

And thanks for the warm welcome guys, even in times of stress.

it is an intermittent error though, had it for 15 mins this morning then twice this afternoon.

pesky cisco gremlins?

Our pleasure.

Lucky you   I only manage once or twice a year.

Had a random disconnect today. First one ever. Probably due to the upgrades? (There was a BT van at the exchange earlier in the morning, no idea if it's related. :O )

Loss of sync, Ben?

Ask some of your relatives, they might knowabout cousins, aunts and uncles etc.

Loss of sync, Ben?

Nope, just read the updates on the main page/your comments. I kept connection all the way, but got the little "internet disconnected icon" so I was connected to the exchange, then nothing else.
So it seems the servers were stuck in the usual "updating" then reset and said "update failed, retrying". I've had that happen in windows a couple of times. 

[Technical Ben]

Another drop. Could not connect to any webpages, and "lost connection" icon appeared. Strangely enough, I had a mumber server up (similar to Skype) and it kep working all the way through. Was funny telling people over the internet "My internet has disconnected". It was a bit like the twilight zone. 

[Rik]

You'd better talk to support, Ben, this doesn't seem to fit the profile of what's been happening today.

[Technical Ben]

I will give it one more day. Just to be sure. Seemed to be the same problem as Sunday. 

[Rik]

There really shouldn't be any hangover from Sunday, Ben, but stranger things have happened.

Not convinced about that... I still think that new kit is sending some of us on the pretty route

[Rik]

Have you tried tracing Bill?

[Niall]

Just thought I'd post to say everything has been fine since last night for me. I totally forgot to mention it!

Strangely, as of 2 minutes ago it has become lightning fast to load webpages, not that it was slow today at all either!

[Bill]

Have you tried tracing Bill?

Where to?

I'm going mainly on the BQM traces, they're horrible compared to before the upgrade. I wish I'd done a reverse traceroute from tbb on Saturday, that might have been interesting.

But like I said earlier, it's not causing me any serious grief in comparison to what others are getting (just a bit of speed loss on some sites) so I'll leave it for a while.

[Rik]

Any sites giving you grief...

[Bill]

Any sites giving you grief...

Only some of the forums on tbb, but there's nothing IDNet can do about that

Seriously, none constantly, but every now and then a site will go slow for a few minutes, then back to normal. Never slow for long enough to investigate anything

You need to practice fastest finger first, Bill.

He's the latest

But I think some of the regulars have finished painting their bridges
