Manchester (and others?) dead inet.. DNS outage perhaps? Solution...

[Aekeron]

Hey all.

Having major problems atm in Manchester (1.5mbit bb, cm). DNS dead and therefore all websites dead. Managed to specify a proxy (ntl) by using ip range: 62.252.32.x - I used 8 originally but I think most of the ntl proxies are in this range.

Anyhow. It kind of works.. despite inet being a little slow. at least I can chat to people and moan about it

Sorry for the bad english..kind of rushed.

Hope it's of use to y'all.

Oh..thanks to my good friend Dan for looking up IPs and guessing the IP range :p

It wouldn't let me look them up when my inet was playing up...hope it's of use to some people to have these listed.

Hiya,

I had no end of DNS Problems last night (in leeds LS12) and I got around it in the end by just disabling the proxy server.

lol..perhaps it's mainly just me then...

our connection always seems to go funny when it rains heavily. I used to have the problem with adsl quite a lot (I've been through a lot of bb providers lol) but I've not had it until this year with ntl.. bah!

no DNS issues here in Manchester but I do have speed issues they are up and down all the time and browsing can be like 56k at times.

Yeah, my connection seems erratic at the moment as well (SK6). I thought it was just cos they swapped my pace box with a samsung yesterday and something was up with it (still could be that i suppose).

Hmn. My connection is for poo tonight. Will fiddle with more proxies again.

[Aekeron]

I still can't access anything without running through a proxy. Can't even specify dns servers atm. So annoying ;( and weird
