379588 2005-08-09 08:55:00 i'm using orcon bitstream
and i've had trouble with my internet this afternoon
orcon's network status did mention a router crash at around 11am..but fixed at 11:50

right now i can go to a few site..well..most sites
but...

i can't go on msn
i can't get into some major sites, including
google
altavista
hotmail
gmail
sourceforge
..and even..microsoft's site..

feels like something wrong on my end..not theirs..

i've restarted router, restarted comps
still doesn't work..

wondering if anyone on bitstream are having the same problems too..

379589 2005-08-09 09:33:00 Have you checked your DNS settings are correct? You could even try a different set of DNS (eg Xtra's) and see if this makes a difference. Jen (38)
379590 2005-08-09 09:48:00 no..dat didn't fix the problem..
tried orcon and xtra's dns
..um..never thought xtra's dns can work too...
too bad it didn't solve the problem

also restarted router again
didn't help either..

379591 2005-08-09 09:53:00 What happens when you try to load one of the above listed sites? 404's etc? Have you looked in your host files to make sure nothing dodgy is happening there?

Also try pinging the websites:
gmail.com
64.233.171.107

379592 2005-08-09 10:03:00 pings get timed out
seem to be able to resolve gmail into ip
but still get timed out when pinging with ip

in fx the page jz goes loading...then conecting to google.com
..then load load..then get operation time out

other sites that do load eg nzherald, they just load normally like always
