Connection problems in Bromley
 

Hi all,

Anyone having connection problems in Bromley? I can browse this site OK and also the ntlworld site but cannot browse anything else or connect to pop3 servers.

I can't even look at the server status page!

Thanks :shrug:

Babelfish.

****e service yet again
 

Posted at Event
25 November 2003 16:32 DNS degradation - affecting all internet packages
ntl:home internet customers on all packages may currently experience difficulties using the service due to a DNS server outage.

This is likely to affect all internet services (browsing, email, FTP) for customers in some regions, and access to certain websites and servers in other regions.

Our engineers are aware of this issue and are working to resolve it as soon as possible.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

When will this **** ever end....

Re: ****e service yet again
 

got that here: any alernative dns' anyone?

Re: Connection problems in Bromley
 

DNS problems, I try and get an alternative address you for

Re: Connection problems in Bromley
 

oh - 2 minutes later and I think someone has answered my query on another post!

Re: ****e service yet again
 

Yep - mine's crap too! :rolleyes: LOL

Same old same old, eh??

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

these DNS is currently working:
212.23.8.1
212.23.8.6

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Mines also useless in surrey, this site seems to work fine, but other sites and xbox live dont! :(

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

This site is fine because the ip address is still in your cache, if you restarted the computer it would stop working with the rest

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Yeh my connection on broadband has gone completely. I'm now on dialup. Although this is flaming slow. I didn't find out what was happening until I read the NTL service page. It took long enough to get onto that as well. :afire: :afire: :afire:

Re: ****e service yet again
 

Ditto, ditto, ditto in Lancashire.

press use the following DNS servers
input these:

Nice one full steam ahead again :)

Anyone not sure how to change them http://www.ukans.edu/exchange/faqs/d...ch.shtml#WinXP

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

BINGO!!!


Thanks :)

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

My email & www is stuffed. Does indeed look like DNS issue. Using dialup. Still having some problems with DNS on pipex also. I wonder what's up.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Wicked it works fine now!! Thanks for that downquark1!! :D

I take it its ok to leave them like that, but i can always chnage back to auto right?

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Funny how when you call NTL they cant have a message on the CS number to tell you the problems. Was waiting nearly an hour for the guy to see, yes we know thank you!!

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Yep, once their working again.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

AGH, I HATE NTL :mad: :grind:

Why is it that nothing they "resolve" actually ever stays resolved?! :rolleyes: :afire:

No DNS again! This is pathetic. Hardly any websites seem to work. POP3 doesn't work. Webmail doesn't work. Nothing works!

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

I rang the server support line to see if it was a known problem - number was engaged!:(

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Nice1 downquark1, worked me in Warrington :tu: :)

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Glad to help :tu:

I heard that major backbone had failed between US and UK? blueyonder and some adsl companys are also having trouble

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Unfortunately can't get to google to check this out waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh :cry: :cry:

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Had trouble here as well :mad: DNS again :rolleyes:

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

My nice new shiny Pipex connection is working fine.....:D

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

I suspect the DNS isn't entirely the problem - I've added the DNS servers shown in this thread, and it still doesnt work!

However I'm now using a proxy server in the US somewhere and low an behold I can browse. :grind:

My guess is the transparent proxies NEED NTLs DNS to be working, so it doesn't matter what DNS you have set on your own PC.

Can anyone confirm this?

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Hi, can confirm reports that the main uk hub has done off line, getting hammered at freeserve here.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

downquark - cheers for those alternate DNS addresses :)

Lee - Agh, I wouldn't be surprised if the inktomis are buggered too :(

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Thanx :tu:

Any links? - I want to read up on it

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Well again my BB connection is fine now. Before some sites I couldn't reach and the ones I could were slow but fast again now :)

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Anyone using a router will have to set the alternate DNS in the DHCP settings & release & renew to get it to work - well that's wot worked for me anyway.:)

- thanks DQ btw :tu: - you deserved a rep for that!

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Well I did what you suggested downquark1 and it worked hooray. Back on broadband 600K. Thanks. You can change it back just as easily I suppose? :)

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

well looks like the DNS is up the spout again

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Its allright for some looks like Zen is getting a better idea than NTL around here

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Yep if on windows set it to get it automatically again - if on other OS leave the space blank

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

In answer to request for backbone info, yes, the Northern part of the TAT-14 transatlantic cable has gone down. The Southern half went down earlier this month and hasn't yet been fixed so traffic has to go without a very high capacity link, hence congestion/slow links/packet loss will be seen to the USA on a large number of UK ISPs.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Any chance of ntl trying to route through sirius?

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

I'd be interested to know how exactly DNS settings on your pc are causing this and how changing the DNS [on your pc] will solve it.

I don't use NTL DNS, I can resolve www.google.co.uk fine, but I cannot access it (or any other site) via NTL, if I switch to another (non NTL) proxy I'm fine again. If I put the IP in locally I can access any site fine.

This suggests to me that the NTL proxies are going the DNS lookup (and failing) therefore changing DNS locally will have no effect.

Am I missing something obvious here ?

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Two transatlantic links down ! Sounds like this may be a problem for a while then. Maybe there's some spare capacity on the satellites?

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

You are absolutely correct. [edit - well i've noticed the same issues - but i don't understand why the proxy would do a lookup] [edit - maybe it's just that the proxy attempts to fetch the page via the broken pipe, while setting another proxy skirts round the problem ]

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

NTL have their own link across the Atlantic to a New York peeing point, not sure if it uses TAT-14 or not. A number of transit providers have been affected though, above.net/uu.net/mfnx.net being one of them, along with Level 3 and others.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

This is what i said earlier in this thread. I can browse using a proxy and can download from the US at my full 128KB/s so my guess is that its a combination of DNS issues and the transparent proxies.

If you bypass the proxies, browsing is fine WITHOUT changing any DNS settings. Well it is for me anywayz :shrug:

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

100 points to that man, your spot on thats why even if you have specified another dns or have your own dns. If you traffics being cached (which most peoples is) then the web/proxy/traffic server is going to be doing its DNS lookups using the NTL caching DNS clusters. So you will find that thinks that aren't affect by the traffic server (FTP is an example) will probably work ok.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Do they???? I though they did when we had the mae-east and mae-west peering routers? but i thought they got scraped a while ago, I believe most of our peering is done in the UK with Sprintlink, Above.net and Cable and Wireless forming some of the points and then the transit points at London (linx), Amsterdam and Paris.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

thought Sirius was the link between the uk and ireland?

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

the dns's work :) Thanks

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Help please

My dad is the main computer and is connected by ethernet to the STB. I am on a network to his PC through an ethernet hub. I can get onto the net, he can't since about 6.30. He has tried all sorts of servers on the Robin Walker list. Any ideas?

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Out via Cable and Wireless to the US?

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

never noticed it go that way before thats all.

Does anyone know why I have a dial-up customer on a proxy thats getting .coms fine although all bb customers cannot?

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Well the first point it is that with routing depends whether you go out of the a side or the b side core at the pops site so like midd-t2core-a or midd-t2core-b as to which backbone side u end up on and ultimately which peering partner your traffic goes to...

Your dial-up customer maybe they have a proxy specified or maybe their dialed into a pop site thats got the traffic servers turned off or something??? - mind u dial-ups just slow - i'm on it tonight and yet my mate on cable modems are going - its slow its broken etc....

just a side note..next time you run a trace you might wish to cover up the details of the midd-lam1-xxxx.inet.ntl.com and its IP as its possible to work out what leased line that refers to (if you have access the routers of course) ;)

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Handy - I get that trace going to london then to washingtonhttp://forum.nthellworld.co.uk/attac...tachmentid=363

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Got a full trace to apple.com

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

I've tried using those alternate DNS addresses given by Downquark earlier.

Works...a bit. I can get to more websites now, but there are still some that don't work. PLus MSN & XBox Live still won't work. :(

PS: Could someone please tell me the IP address of https://www.hushmail.com ? :)

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Here:
65.39.178.11

Which DNS did you use? - I think the first set I posted may be faulty.

try these
195.40.1.250
195.40.0.250

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

They work says th'eng using them

BTW is the e-mail team on the dns servers now :smokin:

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

http://www.geog.ucl.ac.uk/casa/marti..._new_small.gif

so whats gone off exactly?

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Try 65.39.178.11

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Brilliant! Cheers :D



EDIT:

Agh. Get the main page to open, but then get stuck at https://mailserver1.hushmail.com/hushmail/index.php when trying to log on :(

Oh well.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

The DNS entries downquark gave (I believe EasyNet's) do work, however I also needed a proxy set up to be able to browse anywhere other than NTL.

For certain obvious legal reasons I am not going to list the proxy i am currently using. (I regularly update a list of usable ones into MYIE2) Anybody that can get to a search engine (google=216.239.41.99) aught to be able to search for free web proxy lists and take their pick.

That will get you more browsing functionality. Do however change back to normal settings when the current crisis is over.

NTL Hub = winnersh, DNS = EasyNet, Proxy = my-gob-is-shut
All net access working :-) even the NTL email. :angel: :cool:

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Thanks :)

I tried both sets -

212.23.8.1 & 212.23.8.6 and 195.40.1.250 & 195.40.0.250

The 212 addresses weren't any better than the crappy NTL ones.

The 195 addresses are working better for me than the NTL DNS servers were, but I still can't access a lot of stuff (certain websites like Hushmail, plus MSN & XBL, etc).

Agh. Oh well, it's a bit better than with the NTL servers, anyway.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

My internet is working fine on the DNS downquark gave me and so is email. :cool:

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Well my internet seems faster - I don't know whether this is because of the new DNS addresses, I optimized my network settings or because everyone else in my area don't know about DNS :D

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

proberley the later they cant get on :D

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Well I'm happily working off my own DNS and proxy servers for the moment. Just flicked back to NTL and its still as dead as a dodo here.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Using other dns myself as well looks like a quiet night for all but NTL

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Interesting!I can't use BB at all.I can't use NTL payg Dial-up but I can connect using Zoom payg dial-up.

i can't afford to be on long though.now to see if i have any access to webmail as that won't download either.

incog.type faster girl,type faster.time is money tonight.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

change your dns settings to that of zoom and connect on BB

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

i use win 98se, should i add those dns addresses into network neighbourhood, tcp/ip settings? also can anyone give me an IP of a decent Proxy server.....

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

dunno if anyone has read this but here goes....

DNS - affecting all internet packages
Due to a major server outage, ntl:home internet customers on all packages may currently be experiencing problems with ALL internet access, including web browsing, email, ftp and newsgroups.

Our engineers are currently investigating and hope to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.


Please note that due to the nature of this outage our technical support lines are much busier than normal, resulting in long wait times on all lines. If you suspect this issue affects you, please check this page or the ntlworld server status line on 0800 052 4315 for updates

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Question: Do DNS caches store failed or 'empty' lookups?

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

nope freeserve pooched also. So are othe companies we are hearing :(

so if tat-14 has gone down we in trouble then.

not just US traffic according to this link

TAT-14 is the highest capacity undersea cable in Concert's current arsenal, which includes ownership in 115 systems totaling more than 300,000 miles globally. At 640 Gbit/s protected capacity (1.3 Tbit/s total capacity), the Transatlantic Cable 14 network is more than twice as fast as its TAT-12-13 predecessor. :eek:

The project interconnects US stations in Manasquan and Tuckerton, NJ with those in Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, France and the United Kingdom. These stations are connected by 15,000 kilometers of cable with four fiber pairs. "It has the capability to transmit the content of a hundred PC hard drives each second and the content of more than 24 DVD disks every second," says Sheel Manchanda, director of international cable management. now i want that diverting to my house, you think they would :)

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

My Pipex connection has been stuffed for about 3 hours this evening because of the internal routing problems coupled with the defect in the TAT-14 transatlantic undersea cable.

Although there are no crappy proxies to deal with, the DNS has been up the spout for a number of hours now, although it has been fixed now. The email works and has been reliable, which is the exact of what ntl's email has been.

However there has to be a sting in the tail - and that has been the random disconnections which are being addressed with the support people.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

XP certainly does, but there's a registry fix to stop it from doing that

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

errr complete :dunce: here.how do i do that?

incog.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

I can connect to the Internet but cannot send email, browse or use MSN Messenger using NTL. Thank goodness I have beeb.net as a back up ISP. NTL is so crap these days.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

okay, due to numerous requests, here's a currently working proxy 217.40.26.177:8000

what I find is weird is that I can pick up usenet from News.CIS.DFN.DE (& others)which must mean that a dns servers is used to translate the name. but no surfing via ntl.

Sorry if I'm repeating anyone, but my connection speed is somewhat slower than normal ;) so Ive not read all 6 previous pages.....

This appears to be quite a widespread problem. A good proportion of Europe is unable to traverse CERTAIN routes to the USA due to what appears to be a problem with the PoP (Point of Presence) at Telehouse UK.

Routes to European sites should be unaffected tho, some that claim to be European sites, but are physically located in the USA, may appear to be offline...

I have a few friends in Greece and Germany who are also unable to connect to the sites and services that I'm unable to connect to. I also cannot connect from my either of my 2 office sites (both on different ISPs to me and each other)

As its not directly an NTL issue, I guess we'll have to sit tight and wait..... :(

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

myIE2 free download from www.myIE2.com has this nice feature whereby you can set a whole list of proxys and choose between them at a mouse click and not need to close and reopen the browser.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Even when I set DNS IP's I still can't get anything, not even MSN messenger, and that was fine last time this happened.

I'm on AOL dial up at the moment, yuck. :afire:

edit- There's 20 guests and 2 member reading this thread, now thats just weird :eek:

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

As its not directly a DNS problem, its not suprising it still doesn't work..
The server can probably look up the ip address fine, but if you cannot connect to the actual MSN (or whatever service youre trying) because the route has failed, then it still wont connect.

The way to get around this is A) have a DNS server set, thats physically located somewhere thats not affected by this outage (ie a US DNS Server) and B) a proxy server that supports Socks4 or 5 so as you can force all of your applications to use a proxy. Most of the proxies discussed here are just web proxys, so surfing webpages might work, but other apps might still fail...

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

it's all now working. So over to the Huntley case at http://www.nthellworld.co.uk/forum/s...6871#post86871

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Cheers for the dns addy's downquark ..... took a while to work out how to change it in Win M.E., but browsing back to normal with the dns settings changed- if anything my browsing speed has increased to what it normally is. Just shows how k*ackered NTL's set up really is :(
At least NTL turned off the transparent cache round 'ere in Warwickshire, the same as in the Manchester area.... think that may be the reason its working for some and not for others.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

BB is back up and working again here - thanks to those working away behind the scenes, dial-up was just beginning to annoy me

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

HELLO, About fecking time. :mad:

I av tried new proxy setting and DNS settings and i still haven't got online until now, its me own fault i took my old modem out and gave it to me old man until he got a new one not thinking i may blo*dy need it. I have been off-line since i got in from work at 2pm and with only a few proxy and DNS settings stored in Notepad i have been beggered.

Tech line HA thats a joke
server status line HA thats a joke
All i wanted to know was if it was NTL or me. Obviously it was NTL

I have tried so hard to get onto this site to see what ideas you lot had come up with but i couldn't.

Anyways i is here how and i now have a lot more DNS and Proxy settings just in case.:grind:

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

back up at slightly slower speed, but back on never the less

edit: correction back at full speed

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Exactly the same problem here ... roll on the regular Sunday night outage!

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

sorry to say but its been a 'non ntl' problem i'm afraid, i'm a manager at freeserve and the tat-14 d6wn t50e has affected us big time also

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

Yep guys, I hate to break it to you, but this was not ntl's fault.
BTopenworld had exactly the same problem.
It was the TAT14.

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

phew!!! mines been out of action since i came in at 5 pm everything would not work just got online about 10-15 mins ago thanks to some detective work by me :p

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

whats tat-14 d6wn t50e :confused:

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

In that case i say sos to NTL and up yours to freeserve. :)

Re: MERGED - Connection problems in Bromley
 

I think that's ment to be TAT14 down time. It's a major internet traffic link that has failed tonight.

Coupled with some internal NTL routing issues in the last hour - I have kept losing my links out of the NTL network (apparently dying between gfd & bre which I assume is Guildford & Brentford ?).
