Half of the web sites aren't working

[sof2er]

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.

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

I'm on IDnet DNS.

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.

Same for me, seems to be .com websites.

Norton DNS.

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?

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]

Most certainly is IDNet related and not local.

Simon is on the case...

[Desaan]

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

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.

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.

Seems to be working ok now 

[Aradin]

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

I told you he was on the case.

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

[Simon_idnet]

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.
