637958 2008-02-06 19:10:00 Hi Team

I haven't been able to log on to Freenet's pop3 email server (pop3 . free . net . nz) for a couple of days and pinging the server tells me that 203 . 152 . 101 . 142 is unreachable .

This is rather odd because Freenet's service has been very reliable for many years, the only problem being that they NEVER reply to emails on their "Contact Us" address .

Are there any other Freenet email users here who are having/not having problems?

Cheers

637959 2008-02-06 20:22:00 I'm getting the same thing, its been happening since Tuesday at least. There is nothing on the website I can find about it, and googling 'freenet email' the only relevant thing that comes up is this thread :P zenoscope (13374)
637960 2008-02-06 20:29:00 I can ping and tracert to 203.152.101.142 no problem.
It could be something to do with Xtra as I know BT is on Xtra not sure about zenoscope.

637961 2008-02-06 20:50:00 hmm, good point, i'm on Xtra as well. zenoscope (13374)
637962 2008-02-06 20:51:00 However, I can't get to the mail.free.net.nz site either, though I can ping it. zenoscope (13374)
637963 2008-02-06 21:51:00 No idea if it's related, but I haven't been able to get any Orcon e-mails into Outlook Express for the last 24 hours, and I'm with xtra. :illogical

But not for long....

637964 2008-02-06 22:17:00 No idea if it's related, but I haven't been able to get any Orcon e-mails into Outlook Express for the last 24 hours, and I'm with xtra. :illogical

I was about to say I can received e-mail fine from Orcon here on Xtra, then Outlook Express time-out with Orcon mail server….

So to me it looks like they may be an issue with Orcon (unless someone on Orcon can access there e-mail fine)

also I cannot access mail.free.net.nz could Freenet be having problems as well???

637965 2008-02-06 22:25:00 And Ihug's mail has crapped out also :xmouth: :xmouth: Zippity (58)
637966 2008-02-06 23:14:00 I see a trend here, both my Orcon and Freenet mail are down, and I am on Xtra so there seems to be some commonality of cause and effect here!

Cheers
