Net problems


Okay, half my internet doesn't work.

I can load this site. I can load cracked.com. I can load email/gcal half the time. Youtube instantly 404's. Half the god damned internet times out.

Yet my ping is the exact same as it always is to speedtest.net and games, my bandwidth is fine, no jitter according to pingtest.net... I tried reseting router/model multiple times no luck.

Is it possibly based on server location? Maybe your ISP has certain cables that go to one place that are down, but the rest are fine?

Re: Net problems


Does this same problem happen on other computer's?

Does this still happen when you boot windows in "Safe mode with networking"?

Re: Net problems


I've had similar issues before. I think the problem was somehow at the ISPs end and had soemthing to do with a DNS server or something. I'm not tech sawwy enough to explain more about it, but thats sorta what the ISP said back then when I contacted them and your symptoms are quite similar.

I would have internet for things like.. MSN Messenger and Steam and a handful of websites, but most websites would not work.

Re: Net problems


DNS stands for Domain Name System. It associates IP addresses to a name (i.e. google.com).... Sometimes DNS servers forward lookup requests to different DNS servers if they don't have the records locally. I'm guessing the forwarded lookups had an issue in your case Coreldan.

Re: Net problems


Yeah it sounds like something is screwed up on the ISP end. You probably can't do anything about it except call them and let them know.

Maybe add IPs directly to your host file.

Re: Net problems


Out of curiosity, who is your ISP? I've had that happen to me several times in the past, and today happens to be another one of those days.

Some sites get 404'd (today, it's Newegg for me), and other stuff is incredibly slow to respond. But all games and anything else that otherwise works by directly remembering IPs works totally fine. So I'd called Time Warner about it, and they told me that they're actually upgrading their fiberoptic routers every other Sunday or so, to the new IPv6 routers.
