Cant get onto any website except this one

[smee init]

Very strange I cant get on any websites accept this one have phoned VM and they say there is a fault in the area and are sorting it but how strange that I can still connect to this site but no other site.

So can you browse via IP?
Google: 209.85.227.103

[smee init]

ahh dns fault is it?

[pooper]

Whereabouts in Essex are you Smee? I'm near Walthamstow and getting similar probs!

Might be worth trying the OpenDNS servers:

208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

smee init, if it was a DNS issue i cant see why it would affect all other sites except just one.

[smee init]

I'm having a similar problem (Colchester, CO4). Some websites work, other's done. It's not specifically a DNS problem as I'm using OpenDNS.
I can SSH into my firewall from BT Internet, but I can't SSH in from work. There doesn't appear to be any info about it on the Virgin Media server status page. I would call them, but it's too late to be talking to India.

Routing problem then.

Thanks phoenix

Someone with the issue needs to call before 2nd line finish at midnight, who's going to be the brave one?

Looks like it's fixed now? Tried a few sites and they all respond at the expected speed.

[zaax]

All working here now as well.

many thanks to who ever phoned the fault in
