I still can't get on at home, does anyone have a fix aside from changing suppliers?

[tomtom]

Would it work through a VPN? some more techy types may be able to advise...

[Tris]

A VPN is just a tunnel between 2 points. It would only work if the other end you are connected to has a different ISP or a working connection to UKB.

Slack---line mentioned about proxies previously which is a better idea. You would have to find one that works though... trial and error I guess (also this would add latency to your browsing experience)

Is there anyone on talktalk who isn't having problems? It might be worth contacting talktalk support?

If you do a traceroute, are things timing out somewhere? In windows, open a command window (start/run/"cmd") then type in "tracert ukbouldering.com" and see what you get.

[rginns]

cheers bubba, not happy it's not working, I'll see if they know anything.. 

[GCW]

I e-mailed them but haven't heard back yet.

[Serpico]

Back in work this week so I'll have access until Friday, but still can't get on at home
I feel disenfranchised - this is worse than the Election voting scandal.

[GCW]

Mr. At Work said something about TalkTalk acquiring new low numbered IPs, which aren't recognnised by quite a few sites that haven't updated their servers.

Some stuff here.

[Adam Lincoln]

Well, I have more time on my hands now!

[robertostallioni]

321 I'm back in the room. 10 days no UKB. Read a book. Spoke to my other half ( a bit). The sky didn't fall down. Had a nice, hour long chat with a gent in Pakistan called Dave about talktalk yesterday. The poor bastard must have been sick of repeating himself in the end but lo, today ukb no brokey.

[GCW]

I'm back on too.
I had a brief e-mail exchange in which I suggested the problem was with their new IP addresses, they agreed, then said they could do fuck all about it.   Awesome. 

[slackline]

No idea, but perhaps the fact the internet is running out of IPv4 IP address' has something to do with it.

[Davo]

Back on now as well. Brilliant! I had begun to realise exactly how little I really had to do without occupying several hours trawling UKb.

[rginns]

Woohoo I am now back on at home, I can waste as much time as I want now! Yes!
 

[Serpico]

Anyone still having access problems?

I'm back on (with TalkTalk) and I'm now having getting-off-the internet-and going-climbing problems instead.

[Tim Broughtonshaw]

was having problems accessing for a couple of hours off both home and work ISP's. However looking at recent posted threads and their times, and the few people logged in now i think im not in a minority. Would appear there was 2-2.5 hours of non-responsiveness..

[Mike Tyson]

Same here. Actually did some work for a change.

[slackline]

You guys need to get on Twitter, its usually where the site being down is first reported and then corroborated shortly afterwards.

I was unable to re-boot (and probably not a good idea as I am a luddite) Mike was in his van and Toby is busy in Japan.

Hope you used the time productively to sort out Tres Ponts info

What is this twitter of which you speak?

rebooting a Linux based system is relatively straight-forward, you ssh in with your user-name, then either su to root and issue the 'reboot' command or use sudo (assuming its configured to allow you to execute the 'reboot' command) to restart with sudo reboot

The one thing you should NEVER, EVER do is 'rm -rf /' as it deletes everything for the root partition and all files/directories that are under it.

[Bubba]

The server wouldn't allow any shell commands whatsoever, so a "reboot" wouldn't work. Luckily the hosting company provide a higher level method of rebooting...

[Stubbs]

Luckily the hosting company provide a higher level method of rebooting...

Did they switch it off and switch it back on again?

[Bubba]

Probably just hit random keys till something happens.
