Yep...same IP.

So who the heck controls that IP addy??

64.209.102.222

Whois shows:

OrgName: Global Crossing

So does anybody have some leverage with GC (get their bandwidth from them) that can push the issue?
Or does GC not provide service directly to end users?

It's not a problem with DNS, the IP address is available otherwise traceroutes wouldn't even start. The difficulty is that they've broken the web such that it isn't routing through alternate paths as it should.

Aah I see. And here I thought the web routing bit was 'sposed to adapt in case of breakages like nuclear attack or something ... I guess they forgot to mention that requires people to push the right buttons.

I don't get it, all the weeks, people complain that Lunatics is out 'the air' .
Traced it too, no problems??? (Even now the KPN reprted big problems yesterday and isn't still fixed completely.)

haven't had a single problem from Holland, that is, but since it's even further, kind off weird, logical thinking doesn't help on that one.


Other people from ' the rest off the world, haven't reported problems. I noticed

Until one week ago I didn't have any problems reaching it either... Then my ISP changed (old ISP bought by another company last year, but now they want customers to use the ISP they already had) and I get stopped at same IP:

Puhlees....

Let's call a duck a duck.

1.) Both John and I have worked one on one with a Tier 1 (ATT) and/or a Tier 2 (RR) bandwidth provider. Both of them have said that they have no peering disputes currently on their backbone peering connections. I have no reason to assume they are blowing smoke up my wazoo at this point.

2.) GC has said that they don't have a specific reason why any of their Tier 3 customers should be cut off at the moment for any of their border gateways.

3.) The DNS and RDNS records for the Coop/KWSN are messed up (they don't agree). This alone in this day and age is sufficient reason to cause a connection to get dropped at network borders under certain circumstances depending on the preferred route reported to/by BGP.

4.) Nothing is going to happen to correct the problem until the hostee makes a complaint to their hosting service or bandwidth provider and gets a service ticket going to fix the underlying issue.

Hi,
since 18 of april the lunatics site is dead for me.. ;-(
and the chance it come back is going to zero.
So i must search a new way to comminicate with the developer team.
It's a little bit pitty, but it looks there is no other way.

Hi Heinz,
If it isn't repaired by the time I get back on top of my other work, then we'll make some alternative arrangements. I rely on much of the historic development information from the Lunatic's site and I feel I might need to figure a way to make some library of some of that awesome stuff in case the site goes down for good or another link breaks. I wonder how big the whole site would be ?

Glad your V8 is running well, and have fun with the big step up from a Northwood ;D

Ok since last I looked I can get to the lunatics website, I've placed a link at the following address below:
http://mysite.verizon.net/vwbobier/

If You can get there from verizon It's better than nothing.

That link worked for me as well


Newsflash
And I just discovered I can get there direct now as well (from 2 different computers and a different ISP than the one I tried the link on just to make
sure)

Edit: I get lunatics.kwsn.net as per the link above but cannot hit lunatics.at from the links on the optimised apps thread

If anyone can find something like a web reflector that's written in html or php or mac software, I will host it on my server to fix this issue.

This is a routing problem on the internet.
That wil never be solved by creating a link on another website.

After following this link the users own DNS server resolvesthe IP adress and a connoctien to this site is created from his machine.
There wil be no difference between using a link somewhere on the internet or typing it in yourself.

Whitout gettining in to the technical details to much routers are a bit like sings with directions.
Traffic passing follows the direction and takes a path to te next router.
Some router at this moment has a wrong sing directing traffic the wrong way.

I would switch my DNS service to another such as DYNdns.com they work excellent for me.

Nothing is going to happen to correct the problem until the hostee makes a complaint to their hosting service or bandwidth provider and gets a service ticket going to fix the underlying issue.

Alinator

I thought they hadf made a complaint.
Even then still nothing happens.
