No problems here, but,

I've not noticed anything amiss tonight on my connection.

Well I assumed you would be there too, even if only to take notes

So you will be needing those blue pills then 

[Maiku]

Thanks for the warm welcome

Seems like the problem fixed itself as I can get to everything again now.
Pings a bit high but dosnt appear to be affecting anything.

[Rik]

I can't access it either, drop support an email.

[mankatron2009]

Anyone else having some problems tonight?  For the last 20 minutes I cant get to Norway... 

You might want to try norwegian.no.

[Ray]

  Maiku.

[Maiku]

You might want to try norwegian.no.

LOL
I even went to that url thinking "oh a site in norway to try" which yes it is but also being the airline was very funny

I've had a couple other instances since my first post where a site isnt reachable then it works about 20 mins later. I tested it via daveproxy which also couldn't get to it, I'm wondering if the LINX is quite 100% back to normal yet.
I havn't contacted support with it as I've already been bugging Simon with other questions recently lol.

[Rik]

Another proxy you might want to try is:

A useful test is also at:

Does it come in different sizes? 

[Rik]

Large and extra large.

Hi all

I've been having problems for the past few days, last night and tonight it's been on and off.  I'm sync'd but last night, I couldn't get authorised.  PPP?  And tonight, it's connected but I'm getting packet loss on pings and web pages are loading / not loading.  Changed my DNS entries just in case, but no joy.

Sorry for skim reading the topic, but is there / has there, been a hardware fault?

Not having much luck here.   

Thanks for any help.  It's driving me loopy!

[Rik]

There was a blip affecting the hostlink, and there's been an issue with LINX causing routing failures, but both are resolved. You really need to talk to support if it's a PPP issue, as they will be able to see your line and what's happening from their end. I assume you haven't changed anything in your setup recently?

Hi Rik

Cheers for that.  Again, sorry for not reading the whole thread. 

No, nothing's changed mate.  I've recently been moved to ADSL2+ and I was about half way through the "training period".  But it's been rock solid until this all started.  Only settings I've changed was the DNS as when I saw Webpages were not loading I thought it maybe that.  I've also had the Router turned off just in case.

I'll see how it fairs for the rest of the weekend and if it's no better I'll contact support in the morning.

Thanks again.

[Rik]

Where did you change DNS, Jimbo, router or Windows?

[Jimbo]

Where did you change DNS, Jimbo, router or Windows?

On my Router.   Then I did a /flushdns in Windows and tried the Internet again.  I have the NIC set to 'Obtain DNS Automatically'.

Is that correct?

Thanks.

[Rik]

I'd always recommend changing the DNS within Windows itself, Jimbo. That way, you don't force a re-sync and a potential PPP issue. Try changing the router back to picking up the DNS automatically and see if that helps.

Ahhh OK thanks mate.

Things seem back to normal here, could it be your exchange? Or just site traffic being very high?


Edit: Just checked those sites and no issues here

[Rik]

No problems here, Ham. If the problem persists today, can you run a BT speed test and post the results please.

seems ok today m8 will run a test if it gets bad again 

[adamr8965]

it's slow 2nite, im struggling to load some pages on getting half my usual 7meg download speed. any ideas?

[Steve]

If I had to guess I'd say exchange congestion which should dissappear  as the evening wears on. However if it doesn't can you do BT speedtest? There's also been a LINX issue this week and I think the odd web site is still not resolving correctly. Personally I've had no issues lately and speeds are fine tonight
