Whos joking.. I'm not...

Re: Messenger, TeamSpeak etc will not connect
 

just spent hours trying to get my connection sorted, as it was only sites i had to login to and msn that would not work, glad i found this forum :)

Re: Messenger, TeamSpeak etc will not connect - or VPNs!
 

Peeps,
just to add my 2pth worth... Am in Tamworth (not too far from Lichfield!) and cant get a VPN connection back into the office. If I use my internal DNS server, they cant resolve requests properly at the mo either... although if I set it to 'forward' to an NTL dns server it seems ok.

I also cant get to my own web server from the outside world either...
Somthing strange is afoot me thinks.

Re: Messenger, TeamSpeak etc will not connect
 

The problem as I see it, and I'm no NTL expert....

The only thing that is seeing the outside world is the ntl proxies, we as customers are just bouncing around the NTL inside infrastructure, when we try to route of the network it just dies nothing more nothing less, the only thing keeping us from feeling we are totally devoid of internet access is the proxies on port80.

So for once, hooray for ntl-proxies, although if they go down, we will really be offline, even though we really are now....

Re: Messenger, TeamSpeak etc will not connect
 

Don't count on it, Tamworth is linked to the Birmingham servers, so your service will be exactly the same as mine.

Re: Messenger, TeamSpeak etc will not connect
 

As an update... cant get to a HTTPS site either - so - would seem that I you can get out through the proxies direct - but dont do anything 'normal' :/
----
another update... I've got a VoIP phone system - which still allows me to connect VoIP (SIP) to the states - possibly cause it uses UDP packets instead of TCP?

my only conclusion...

Re: Messenger, TeamSpeak etc will not connect
 

Yep same here,

VPN (nortel)
some FTP connections,
Ext. News Servers
Online Game Servers (BF1942, EQ2 etc)
Messenger

All inaccessible, however HTTP is working perfectly due to the proxies

Re: Messenger, TeamSpeak etc will not connect
 

yeah, no cs source :-(
no ftp and no email most of the time - sob

whoever spelt Lichfield with a T deserves to be SHOT

Re: Messenger, TeamSpeak etc will not connect (Tamworth / Litchfield issues ?)
 

Connection seems to have improved, still get a ping of about 2500MS and 2 *'s on one server while doing a tracert to www.google.co.uk. Messenger still won't sign in and TeamSpeak refuses to connect. The eOn project seems to have no problems connecting now, hopefully they fix everything by morning.

I gave up at 2300hrs, anyone confirm if NTL plugged the core router back in?

You're kidding right? Litchfield is a completely different place - LiCHfield is our city, doofus :p

Re: Messenger, TeamSpeak etc will not connect (Tamworth / Litchfield issues ?)
 

Heh... Even I know that :P

Re: Messenger, TeamSpeak etc will not connect (Tamworth / Litchfield issues ?)
 

That would be me, since I don't live there I didn't really notice. :dozey:

Still, anyone who has nothing better to worry about should GET A LIFE. ;)
