International Connections Down

[~G~]

As I was having serious difficulties to connect to several sites this morning (and still do), I called TRUE. They told me some international connections are down due to an Earthquack in Taiwan. clueless as to when it will be fixed. mumbling something about CAT Telecom. Anyone knows anything about it?!

It's hard to say. The internet is usually crap at work - it is really crap today!

An uncertified, unlicensed seismologist.

Its all the companies (ISP) its really the link went wrong because the earth quack..

Well, maybe it's not my PC then, or my connection, which is usually the slowest of the slow. ThaiVisa works for me, but slower than normal. Lots of "time out gateway" messages.

internal (thailand) is ok, thailand to singapore is ok, thailand to some sites is marginal to the US is really slow

makes it a fun day at work when you work for an online company

I had the same problem what i did to fix it ?

setup my dns static and it works oke now. i use dutch KPN dns servers ( 194.151.288.18 / 194.151.288.34 ) but you can use any other you know.

do they route europe over Taiwan?

tracert goes till singapore and then tells destination not reachable.

Europe is not reachable at all for me.

Maybe Bush nuked it and I just don't know it.

I don't know how that should help.

I can't reach Europe by using the servers IP adress, so not a name server issue.

Have to add that Windoze Messanger and Skype does not work as well.

[sniffdog]

Yes, it seems to help.

Although Bram might be a little more accurate when posting numbers

The correct number is 228 not 288 .... See his screenshot.
