Small hiccough at IDNet HQ

Rik · Mar 07, 2007, 14:23:00

Users may have noticed a small outage just after 2pm. Something at IDNet fell over for a few minutes, all is well again now though.

If you can read this, you probably don't need to be told

, but if you have trouble re-connecting, then re-boot your router.

Ah so that's what it was.

What fell over?

Rik · Mar 07, 2007, 14:42:24

Probably Simon, given his bad back last week.

They didn't actually tell me what it was, sorry, just that it was sorted. Given the down time, it can't have been anything too major.

I had trouble re-connecting but didn't know I had to reboot my router because I couldn't see your explanantion on here about rebooting my router, because I was not connected.

I didn't know Simon had been away let alone he was back badly.

I take it, it keeps falling over!!

Lost connection 4 times in 1.5hrs. $:-\$

Ray · Mar 07, 2007, 15:51:20

It's just fallen over again here as well

Danni · Mar 07, 2007, 15:51:39

I can see this message, after rebooting my router

had another dropout for about a minute after getting home from nursery with Sammie- that was around 3.30pm (but that didn't require a router reboot- just a disconnect/reconnect). Apart from today, things are actually improving a bit this end- I can actually talk on msn again

DAB Badboy · Mar 07, 2007, 15:52:26

Yep, just dropped here for a short time ..

wrtpeeps · Mar 07, 2007, 16:03:27

happened a second time to me, just back now

Rik · Mar 07, 2007, 16:36:50

It's because the new central is now online, see Simon's post up in Announcements! Yippee!!!

Adam · Mar 07, 2007, 16:47:39

Is the new central 155Mbps or 622Mbps? If it is 622Mbps; how many segments have been activated?

Hmmm I thought it was supposed to get better not worse though.

Sry if I'm sounding huffy but I've just had a very embarrassing afternoon when someone came round especially for me to some work for them which included downloading....but no internet = no work!

Indeed so. A Moderator is a target, a Global Moderator is a large target.

I see no such post?

You think they tell me such stuff? All I got was "Can you post this..."

I was always a large target.

"Sorry for the interruptions today. The last bit of work on the new Central was not due to cause network interruptions but did Sad

The good news is that the work is now complete Smiley

Regards
Simon"

It does not say that the new central is live at all. The last bit of "work" may of been done - but thats not live

Rik · Mar 07, 2007, 18:07:32

Well, that's what I was told by Simon, Avenger. I know he was writing that post in a hurry, between dealing with the outage that wasn't supposed to happen, and the aftermath of people getting hit with stale sessions.

AvengerUK · Mar 07, 2007, 18:10:15

"Well, that's what I was told by Simon, Avenger."

Ah - i didnt know that part

Rik · Mar 07, 2007, 18:17:29

I like to keep an air of mystery, as distinct from misery.

Actually, I'd forgotten it wasn't spelled out in Simon's post, sorry.

siege2 · Mar 07, 2007, 19:29:51

things improved at my end, me at the highest score kicked a** on Unreal Tournament with a ping off 16 ms
nice

even though I ping www.idnet.net at 30 ms

figure that out $:-\$

Danni · Mar 07, 2007, 20:37:29

Another big disconnect- restarting router didn't help, but logging into the speedtest and then back into IDNet did.

I hope all these bugs are sorted out soon
