Is the internet under attack or something?
Totally wierd actions I am seeing.....and not on just one computer. Dissimilar and unconnected sites up one minute....down the next. Pings working....then not. Some sites loading only partially.....:confused:
I think it is due to the heavy load on the internet right now.
Started about the time the snow started flying up this way for me.
Overloaded networks ???
Fact is the snow is melting off and the internet is much faster up this way today.
Nevermind....seems to have settled down now....
For about a half hour things were just strange. Normally when my ISP has problems, I lose everything including email. In this case...my email was unaffected and I could get to some sites, but not others. All or nothing so-to-speak, so this seemed a bit strange to me is all. Just didn't "feel" like a local problem.....
I had the same problem just a bit ago. I could go to google and my other forums, but not vdr and sharky, until about three minutes ago. Weird, that, eh?
Yeah....I wouldn't be surprised if there is news later that a DNS problem occurred or something along those lines. One of the few places I could get to was a wildlife forum and another person there was describing the same thing......from a location in Germany.
Sounds about right. Been just fine out here today, but the last two weeks have been murder getting anywhere.
High winds have knocked out power to thousands here in the east. I don't know if that would have any effect on the Internet or not.
This probably didn't help either

I noticed it on this side of the pond too. Definitely something going on. All seems back to normal ATM though.
Probably a church mouse in Peoria, Illinois biting through a small cable which in turn blew out a heavier cable and so on...
:)
I think it was this one :D

Glad it wasn't just me....I don't like being lonely....
Damn church mice.....:mad:
That certainly explains why when I have been talking to "England" the voice over there is horrid the past few days when I never have a problem normally. It came as great relief to both of us to read this lol .... we kept thinking we were having trouble with Vista since he just upgraded .... whew! :D
Thanks Wonder ;)
