Half of the web sites aren't working

sof2er · Jul 16, 2011, 17:10:10

I'm not sure if this is local or not, it's certainly not my DNS as I've changed it to google and open but still the same issue. (Tried on a different computer, flushed DNS and so on.)

A lot of sites are timing out:

www.alliedmods.net
www.hidemyass.com
www.wifi-doc.com
www.notalent.org

just to name a few, anyone else having this issue?

I was just about to start a thread on this. Same problem for me which started about 20 minutes ago.

Yes same here facebook is timing out... But other are fine...

lozcart · Jul 16, 2011, 17:11:41

I was just going to post, I've got the same problems, seems mainly American .com sites.

I'm on IDnet DNS.

Ray · Jul 16, 2011, 17:13:14

Yes, I've just discovered I've got the same problem, seems to be US hosted sites that I'm finding affected.

Lots of UK hosted sites affected for me.

gazzthompson · Jul 16, 2011, 17:13:54

Same for me, seems to be .com websites.

Norton DNS.

Rik · Jul 16, 2011, 17:14:26

Same here...

I was just looking on these forums for exactly this reason.

I'm assuming it's a problem at IDnet itself? I've tried two different DNS settings too; IDnet and Open DNS.

I can't access www.facebook.com www.redbubble.com www.plus.google.com http://niallallen.deviantart.com/ is loading EXTREMELY slowly. My router logs are showing errors in received info, although I'm not sure what the errors mean as I've not seen them before, plus the auto time setting is picking up the wrong time (it's saying it's midnight). Actually, as I typed that, the router has picked up that it's 4pm, when it's obviously 5.

Something somewhere has definitely broken.

{edit} I've just noticed that the router is picking up the DNS as 8.8.8.8? What's that about?

armadillo · Jul 16, 2011, 17:15:21

Same problem for me - and also confirmed it is not a DNS problem. Access fails even when using the IP address (obtained from isthatsitedown).

sof2er · Jul 16, 2011, 17:15:27

Most certainly is IDNet related and not local.

Rik · Jul 16, 2011, 17:15:58

Simon is on the case...

Desaan · Jul 16, 2011, 17:16:46

Uh-oh spaghetti-o's!

Usually when this happens it means there has been an big outage somewhere, I guess we can look forward to several hours of 404's

On the bright side, this site works.

I'll slant off and continue eating painkillers and feeling sorry for myself, after yesterdays immense drinking session

Aradin · Jul 16, 2011, 17:18:58

Just registered to post something like this and I got beaten to it. I suppose this is karma after I praised IDnet to all my friends for not having a single problem in about 3 years XD.

cyprio42 · Jul 16, 2011, 17:20:17

Can you believe it. I have been watching Fishomania for 5 hours and it went of with 2mins to go.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

My gut instinct is that it's a LONAP or LINX routing failure. I've alerted Simon Davies, the MD, and if I'm right, he will route around the problem area till the fault is resolved.

lozcart · Jul 16, 2011, 17:23:43

Seems to be working ok now

Aradin · Jul 16, 2011, 17:24:21

Looks like the issues may be fixed? Sites are starting to work...

I told you he was on the case.

J!ll · Jul 16, 2011, 17:25:55

I was thinking it was my pc and needed a new one!

Simon_idnet · Jul 16, 2011, 17:26:11

Looks like another problem at LINX. We've shut our connection to LINX for the time being and traffic appears to be routing well via alternate paths. No news from LINX themselves as yet.
