| I was wrong... called hubby...who connects to Internet through same network to let him know network wasn't down just MSN...to my amazement... he can get to MSN...the only difference is that he is on T-1 and I am dialing in...
I was on checking hotmail account last night...around 7:00 pm amd everything was fine...logged on at around 10 pm and MSN appeared to be down...same thing this morning!!!!!
It seems that it would have to be a machine specific problem... but what happened?!!!!!!!! | |

Checked everything....no explanation!!!!!! | |

| It wasn't working for we either and we're on a T-1. But it's okay now. That happended one time before. I think last month, when some people in this forum were experiencing difficulties. I think there's was just a glitch with some connections.  | |

| Wow!!! No doubt!!!!! LOL....couldn't find anything wrong.... looked and looked...tried one more time...and I'm in!!! Which is a good thing...cause I was about to punt this machine through the window!!!!!

| MSN must have hired a CCNA who got it through a dump. | |

| LOL.... must have!!!!!!!!
You know... living in rural America... I have always known dumps to be where you took the garbage that you couldn't burn!!!!
Then when I started studying for certs... I learned another meaning of dump...it's the sh!t cheaters put out and they need to be flushed!!!!!!! | |

Either that or they had to reboot the servers running a certain OS | |

| I get this problem at work as well as at home with some sites.
What I do is to run Traceroute and see what the last hop router is. If DNS fails to resolve the IP address to a name, then I look up the IP at www.ripe.net to see if belongs to site I am calling, or a transit network en-route.
What you might be experiencing, especially if someone else can get to the same site when you can't, is the effect of one server in a cluster of servers, failing. Some companies use load balancing to distribute incoming calls aorund a cluster of servers, with something like Cisco Local Director or Alteon Load Balancers. They can operate on a round-robin basis or sometimes based on the most significant bits in the last octect of your IP address. So, for example if the MSB in the last octect of your IP equate to a certain decimal value, you go to server A. If server A in the cluster is down, oh dear too bad. With round-robin, it's just a matter of timing which sever you get connected to; again if server A is down, then your next attempt may take to server B and so on.

| What you need to do dump MSN. I had this problem with MSN when I was on it, and sometimes it took me a week to get on, I am not kidding. I droped MSN and went to AOL and never had a problem since | |

I don't have MSN service... I couldn't get into ANYTHING that had to do with MSN website..MS Messenger couldn't find its service...I couldn't get to ANY antivirus sites...most other places I could go.
My husband who is connected to the LAN via T-1 could go anywhere...I dial into the same LAN.
Hippo's response makes sense... especially being that our network is a patched together dinosaur!!! Glad I am a field tech and don't have to try to keep that sucker up and running!!!!! |
