High use sites, Google, Flickr etc not working in Nottingham!

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
 

Nearly everything down for me too. No google, no ebay, can't even get to my own website located on the server in the next room! Definately a DNS problem.

Changing proxies helped earlier on but nothing works on any proxy now.

Forgot to say im in the TS6 area of Middlesbrough.

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!

Google doesn't work, other sites are very slow.

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
 

Not a happy bunny here in Bedfordshire. I was about to make a bid on an item on Ebay, but kept seeing Page Cannot Be Displayed and lost the auction. :mad:

Some sites load, but there are always boxes with crosses in them or messages dotted around saying Page Cannot Be Displayed.

I've just had a nightmare couple of weeks with not being able to access the Internet and a hopeless, patronising engineer. I'm not impressed with this latest problem.

Ok, on the MSN i clicking "Repair" and it signed into MSN striaght away, but google is still not working, neither are other sites such as Morpheus.com and eBay.

This site is also very slow for me.

People on Tesco internet are also having issues

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
 

I am in Coventry and experiencing DNS problems.
I cannot access BBC, ebay, gmail, and similar sites.
It appears to be intermittent, though it is frustrating as you cannot meaningfully conduct transactions on ebay.

NTL status page is unhelpful as it gives the impression that all is well.

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
 

msn is working for me!

Yikes!

If someone could verify that the TW DNS servers are working for them, then chuck together a 2minute guide to changing to them it would help a hell of a lot. Anyone up to the task?

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
 

i think everything is back to normal here in berkshire (touchwood :P)

Re: [Merged]-Major connection issues!
 

I tried it, but I couldn't even load Cable Forum... swithced it back to using NTL's DNS Servers, and at least CF is back.

As for changing your DNS servers, you go to Control Panel -> Network Connections, then right-click on Local Area Connection, and select Properties, then highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and select the Properties button. In this new window, you'll see where you either select to have your DNS Servers found automatically, or there are 2 fields where you can specify your own Primary and Secondary DNS Server. Hope that helps :)
