Re: Arrrrrrrrrrrrrghh!

I had exactly this problem using a Windows PC so I'm sure it's nothing to do with Mac. It lasted about 18 hours from the morning of 31/11/09 and then miraculously started working again normally.

I think it's a problem with the Virgin DNS servers as I was able to ping various ip's but not the Virgin DNS server ip. I was unable to get to any site via a url
and my router reverted to internal (192.*) ip's I think because it was unable to get the correct settings from Virgin. I didn't even bother contacting technical support - funny how their scripts never include the possibility Virgin is at fault!

PS I am using wired ethernet to connect
