Internet Problem Thailand? Asia?

[JR Texas]

Is anyone else having major problems with the internet in Thailand? Has something happened like a cable breaking? I can't find any news of it on the net.

Yesterday (27th) it was down most of the day.

You should mention your provider if you are based in LOS

Also wrong TCP/IP settings can give the impression the entire Internet is down.

Firewalls tend to block traffic too.

then something seems to be wrong with the smtp server. Just a guess.

I have heard that the Swine Flu can move from humans to computer systems, so watch out

Anyway, I think the problem is with my local server........things seem to be fine now.

So who is your local ISP? Did you ask them what was wrong?

SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol) that is the server which SEND emails to the world...

and if you can't send out (assuming it has worked before) in most cases your ISP is the culprit -

or the Hotmail smtp

Late yesterday afternoon and evening(26th) I could not get any international sites. Thai sites were fine.

Then later that night I could get international sites again.

Gotta love TT@T, never a dull moment!!!!

I am in Cha-am and live 4kms from a good friend. We both us the same internet service supplied by those fantastic people at TOT(does their customer service know no limits!) and can both have different problems in the same hour, let alone day or week. Just recently i have been experience problems being able to use Skyp and MSN but cannot access the net. A quick reboot of my machine and router seems to do the trick. Bloody annoying but works!

I think there will always be problems until they have 100% fibre-optic cabling! looks like we're in for a lifetime of rebooting then!

OK - Entirely without Prejudice.

MS will dump regularly - I know this, so do y'all - its not a flame. Statement of fact. Live with it, lets move on.

Ya have to reboot regularly. Because of its vulnerabilities and viral loads, it can and will go down frequently as

various of its networking components either fail or become compromised.

Especially if it is a recent problem whilst browsing or retrieve/send mail.

Because of my schedules, I use everything plus the kitchen sync to get online.

The local ISP gateway is normally the problem child.

To that end I decided to eliminate all my SMTP accounts - it gets real old switching or remembering to,

by installing a single Gmail account and using their IMAP/SMTP across the board. Its that simple.

They have a lot of clout & horsepower - globally - except maybe China.

BTW All the global email & ISP servers are all Linux based, for good reason.

Same here..........very bad........can't connect to a site at a university in the USA...........hard to get email.........Google really a problem...........no torrent downloads at all..........what is going on?

I did read, a while back, that the Thai govt. was about to initiate another censorship campaign........they said to stop pornography, but we all know what it is about: MORE CONTROL.

I wonder if this is what is happening now.........people are trying to deal with their "system."
