Problems this morning?

I cant access lots of websites or connect to Xbox live.

Anyone else having problems?

I`m on plusnet pro.

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

Have you the ip addresses for open dns?

Thanks

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

All fine since though.

Lots of probs here too . . . . .

Do you mean opendns.com?

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.

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

I'm fine here.

Of course you will not be going very far if you enter the IP addresses like that

IPV4 addresses have a period in them not a hyphen but I'm sure you knew that

fails with error code

0x800CC0D

with no Google I cannot search for the "reason" ???

Receiving emails is AOK

Yes, that link opens

But as for fixing "my end" I would rather wait to see what PlusNet do by later today.

For the Fix Site to immediately suggest the cure is purely user end when nothing has changed for me i.e. no new installations & happily been sending emails until this morning!

Edit - just checked the email has now gone from the outbox!

PS And other sites now showing ~ phew :~D

Pleased it's sorted

It's getting better. I can access almost everything now: when I first logged on, about 9 a.m, it was almost nothing!

I am wondering if it has been on the blink for a few days, because I have been getting slow refresh and occasional unexpected 404 errors for some time now. I was thinking something was up at my end. It'll be interesting to see if this fixes it.
