Angry Getting annoyed now...
One word: DNS

Well, actually that's three but nevermind.
The point is - I don't have any and it's getting annoying!

What are NTL doing about this?
The status page says that it's fixed... BS!

try doing a 'Traceroute' report from samspade itself:

http://www.samspade.org/t/trace?a=www.samspade.org

perhaps they've turned ICMP off

Yeah, but at least you can resolve the domain...I can't

EDIT: OK - fixed at last.

What I did:

Zone Alarm had been blocking my DNS servers so I added them to trusted then did this in a command prompt:

ipconfig /flushdns

Now everything works again. :p

OK - that is resolved (and is a fix for ZA owners) but I have noticed a worrying sharp increase in pings to my IP from NTL IPs.
It's like the worm, except that it's more frequent.

yea...ive got the same, just looking at my ZA logs. IS there anymore info on this new worm/virus?
A few of the hits are from NTL customers, or atleast the DNS shows them up to be from NTL although i have a few which shows ".in-addr.arpa" - anyone got aclue what that means?

Also, you cant ping www.samspade.org (found this out when i was working for an ISP) although it works here ok though

EDIT: This worm is doing some damage - im getting pinged every 4 seconds ! its making me dizzy
