My parents asked me to send an email to them first. I've given them all the details (such as my address and number) so they can instantly trace the problem (or unless they will just say ring up).

Its the NTL proxy servers that are screwed again. If you connect through the manchester proxy at

inktomi1-man.server.ntl.com using port 8080 then messenger etc will all work again.

BTW im also connected to the lichfield UBR, so i know its a NTL problem, especially as all my friends are offline at the moment (at least the ones in the lichfield/rugeley area)

That proxy worked, but it's very slow. Will try another one from my area soon.

Yeah its not as fast, but i have messenger set up just to use that proxy and firefox runs through the normal methods.

You could also try another NTL proxy which may give you better performance

Looks like all the ones near me are having problems, they all fail

Messenger keeps kicking me off so it's useless. Teamspeak still doesn't work so I'm just going to have to wait till they fix the problem.

By the sounds of it it's a problem in the midlands

In Lichfield, can surf web,

but...

2 13 ms 7 ms 8 ms brhm-t2cam1-a-v109.inet.ntl.com [213.106.228.41

3 9 ms 9 ms 8 ms brhm-t2core-a-ge-wan63.inet.ntl.com [213.106.23
.65]
4 9 ms 11 ms 8 ms bir-bb-a-so-200-0.inet.ntl.com [62.253.185.145]

5 19 ms 12 ms 12 ms win-bb-b-so-700-0.inet.ntl.com [62.253.185.142]

6 13 ms 13 ms 14 ms pop-bb-a-so-000-0.inet.ntl.com [62.253.185.201]

7 16 ms 16 ms 17 ms pop-bb-b-ae0-0.inet.ntl.com [213.105.172.77]

after this it times out, I cannot ping my work server either, which I know will accept icmp responses.

Web ok, but everything else is borked......

Top work NTL...

No point in ringing CS, as I just hate having to explain things to someone who insists on me rebooting the modem (done it already), after working on Cisco kit all day I don't want a CS telling me to do this.

Shame there isn't a different way to report a fault....

always try this...

http://webmessenger.msn.com/

<grin>

Nope that dont work either....Someone kick NTL for me...

One thing i noticed was that up to 9am this morning all my traffic would go through my UBR (10.129.7.254) and then the b-cam at (213.106.228.173) since 9am this has changed and after the UBR my traffic is now routed through the a-cam at (213.106.228.45). Since the change messenger has stopped working. So my guess is its due to some change they made or b-cam going offline.

Hmm not convinced, I am going through 213.106.228.41 so I feel it could be something at their core.

Thing that gets me there is nothing on their service status to say 'hey we've screwed up again'

lol

My Brothers Friend rang them up and got though to a level 10 tech and he said that one of the NTL servers have gone down in london

sporkguy · 22-02-2005, 19:01

Now thats a joke, one server affects just the Lichfield area....no way!

sporkguy · 22-02-2005, 19:25

impossible. its probbaly our UBR that's on the blink - nice to see I'm not the only Lichfield resident miffed off about this

BizBo · 22-02-2005, 19:40

yup I was planning to do work on our servers but because the systems on NTL are borked I can't VPN in to the systems.

Ah I love it, well I'm moving into the Birmingham area and hopefully I will be a different network....as yet to be decided.

NTL are really sucking now, this is affecting ALL of Lichfield users from what I can tell...

Stinks!
