I have been having intermittent problems accessing certain web sites, including this one. A retry normally works. It has been reported on the Community forums.

No, still oddly unable to access various sites including PlusNet's own portal.

Here at Think BB it was inaccessible for the last half hour then came up again with a 30 second delay on refresh???

Even Google fails!!!!

It seems to be a DNS problem - switching to OpenDNS fixes it

I rebooted my router at about 8am and it took a while for DNS to resolve.

All fine since though.

Solution

[re: deleted] [link to this post]

There is a recorded message on +net help line that says there are issues with the DNS servers.

I managed to find the IP addresses for Open DNS

208-67-222-222
208-67-220-220

pop those into where ever you set up the dns and away you go. smile

Yup. couldn't get to that address. However a quick phone call to a mate got what I needed. See 'Solution' above.
