monsieurhappy Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 don't tell me Thailand has blocked it First my toolbar dissapeared then www.google.com comes up blank No problems here on TT&T Maxnet. Perhaps try www.google.co.th or www.google.co.uk I'm at Maprachan/Pattaya, just got hooked up to TT&T Maxnet a couple of days ago and thought Whow! much better than dial-up. Now I can't get IE or Firefox, let alone Google or Yahoo but when I go back to Loxinfo dial-up they're on. Anyone know what's happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lannig Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Google use dynamic DNS to redirect clients to their nearest host. This is done regardless of the country/language variant opened, www.google.com, www.google.co.th or www.google.co.uk will resolve to the same IP address (or same set of). AFAIK thai clients are sent to their Singapore nodes, and the connectivity to these does suffer from shortlived hiccups on occasion. I've seen this going on for months, it looks to me like a recurrent routing instability at the CAT exchange point, but who knows? (certainly not the CAT losers themselves). It usually goes away after several minutes. Censorship has nothing to do with this. Maybe I'm up for a suprise, but I doubt the ICT min. would be stupid enough to ban Google. --Lannig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i use the Google add-in in Firefox it takes me to www.google.com . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushdepth Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I sometimes have problems with the DNS of my ISP (True). Changing to someone elses DNS often resolves the problem. My goldfish could provide better internet service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
