Anyone in the Atlanta/Georgia Area having trouble with the Internet?

[Up2Late]

Or can tell me how to run a check of the Local Internet?:mad:

This has happened a few time lately (comcast.net)

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

1. It's happening all over...

It was happening to me, on Sprint DSL, last weekend. Personally, from the tests I ran with the Sprint Tech, I think someone is messing with Top-Level Domain servers in the Chicagoland area.

2. Funny you should ask...

It just now reconnected...I thought it was just me??? Released and renewed my ip address...tried some other things w/ the router...glad to be back.

3. yes, major problems

i have cable, and with firefox, nothing's coming up... i switched over to ie, and so far it's working... i have comcast as well

on edit, actually du seems to be about the only site coming up

[FreedomAngel82]

17. I have problems off and on

:shrug: Dunno what's up. I'm in the southeastern Tennessee area which is about two hours north of Atlanta.

[newsguyatl]

31. anyone STILL having problems on WEDNESDAY night??

i can't get on ANYWHERE...

[Corey_Baker08]

4. Problems Here 2

Im in Indiana and DU wouldnt load at all from about 9-9:35 but all other sites were fine.

[kentuck]

5. Try shutting down and rebooting....

13. Man this is really getting annoying Any Canadians HERE?

If this keeps up, I'm going to have to move to a different part of the Internet.:mad: :silly:

I just had another 10 minutes of Non-response.

It's kind of scary to think of how dependent I am(we are) getting on the Internet.

7. Looks like a DU thing.

It's getting better, but the images still aren't loading. (They may have turned 'em off.)

[FreedomAngel82]

18. Not just DU with me

It's just website's in general with me. Yahoo and local sites I'm looking at are going a tad slow.

[BuyingThyme]

19. Are you using Windows XP, and did you notice an extra little icon

on the bottom right of your screen?

You may be downloading a Windows update without even knowing it.

23. I went to the link you posted over there for the ORSC P.A. DNS...

...nameservers, whoooo, feels much better. Very speedy!:yourock:

[Horse with no Name]

14. Yup

Cebridge in Texas is all screwed up.:wtf:

[southlandshari]

15. Couldn't get to DU between 9:50 and 10:20 pm (central)

Finally did a google search on my own username and clicked on a link to an old thread I'd posted to and that got me on. Go figure.

[Melynn]

16. DU down in central Ohio until 11:27 p.m.

I thought, "They got DU. This is it. I'll hear a knock on the door and be dragged off by Homeland Security to the reeducation camp".

Just kidding.

[kittykitty]

20. sporadic in PA (comcast) from 8 PM to midnight. Ok now.

[Dem2theMax]

21. Dial up in So. Calif. Couldn't access DU for 2-3 hours.

This has been happening repeatedly in the past month or so on DU and only DU. No problems with any other sites.

[no_arbusto]

22. Comcast DNS issue. Not just DU.

Comcast had a major DNS outage last week and apparently had one tonight as well. I checked http://www.dslreports.com and found out that it was a nationwide issue. I switched DNS servers and the problem has been corrected.

[Up2Late]

26. Me too, feels good now.

:evilgrin:Do you know what this "ORSC Public Access DNS Nameserver" thing is all about?

[flyarm]

24. in flordia west coast been having probs all nite!! n/t

[Fescue4u]

25. lots and lots and lots of Emergency Upgrades today

An industry wide security alert was published. The result of that most ISP are rushing to upgrade their equipment.

In addition, Comcast has been having DNS problem as well.

See...

and for the comcast issue..

[Up2Late]

27. WTF is a "pharming attack?"

Is this a new bunch of A-holes Hackers, competing with each other to see who can shut down the biggest chunk of the Internet?

[Fescue4u]

28. See the link inside

Almost Im not sure why its being associated with DNS issues.
