Problems reaching _some_ websites

Hi,

Is anyone else having problems reaching some websites; specifically, http://news.bbc.co.uk/ and _this_ website?

I'm only able to post here using an SSH tunnel to another server btw!

Its an odd problem though; I can ping and tracert to both the above web servers, but I can't view any webpages - they just timeout.

Tracing route to bbs.adslguide.org.uk [80.249.99.126]

over a maximum of 30 hops:



  1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  www.routerlogin.com [192.168.0.1]

  2    34 ms    35 ms    36 ms  telehouse-bb-gw1-vpdn.idnet.net [212.69.63.45]

  3    32 ms    27 ms    33 ms  telehouse-gw-bb.idnet.net [212.69.63.9]

  4     *        *        *     Request timed out.

  5    25 ms    24 ms    26 ms  gi0-2-10-star1.core-rs2.thdo.ncuk.net [80.249.97.9]

  6    38 ms     *       25 ms  bbs.adslguide.org.uk [80.249.99.126]



Trace complete.

Any ideas? (I've not rebooted by router yet.... I doubt this is the problem, but if no one else is having a problem I will)

Cheers!

Same here. A number of sites have been unreachable, could be a data center issue.

Strangely, it all appears to be working now. The problem had been affecting me for (very approx.) 1 hour prior to posting (+/- 30 mins!).

Was here too but working ok now

Not just you mate, same here.

T'was timing out at a bbc link or lonap or such like...can't rmember the details and data is being re-routed now.

Yes, I saw it too. At this stage I'm guessing that a network attached to LoNAP was inadvertantly blackholing a lot of IP space. We've shut our connections to LoNAP for the time being and it seems like full routing has been restored.

Same here. All ok now. Must be some gremlins escaped from PlusNet or Eclipse.

Thanks Simon

.........or an attack of the tiscali tic.

It's working lovely now!! Thank you!
