[Eircom] some webpages not opening

ztoical

Hey guys, wondering if anyone else is having issues with some webpages not opening with Eircom? I haven't been able to get Livejournal to open for two days and youtube comes and goes.

akenny01

hey ive been getting this to

yoyo

Same prob guys, are you guys using opendns? I am and having the problem, I'm doubting its opendns is the cause but I mite try using eircons own one later :S :pac:

Nick

yoyo

Just a update, I think the problem is with opendns, as using eircons own works fine:
Primary DNS:
213.94.190.194

Secondary DNS:
213.94.190.236

My opendns settings are saved on the router, too much stress to go changing em with other family online so I changed them on my pc, to change them on your machine, check THIS GUIDE if on vista, open network and sharing centre, view status of connection, click properties, should see same screen as linked

Edit: Change settings for Internet Protocol Version 4

I'm having these problems too, I've noticed it seems to be resolving IP addresses from America.

I spotted it about 2 days ago, and i presumed it was OpenDNS so switched back to eircoms DNS but still no joy. It's a pain in the ass is what it is!

joolsveer

I am having the same problem. I use opendns all the time.

yoyo

Youtube has now again quit working, must be eircons problem I would imagine...

Same here - but was using eircom DNS all the time

akenny01

its back now for the time being, it just comes n goes, damn you eircom

ethernet

Also on OpenDNS. Issues loading youtube.ie, Facebook and others.

paul150

Im having problems loading some sites also, id say its more to do with eircom than anything else

RFHost

Ya it appears to be some kind of routing issue to certain networks. Seems to be primarily affecting US based sites.

Doesn't look like a DNS issue to me as the domains resolve to an IP but just have no connectivity. Traceroute is also showing some weird results. Definitely looks like some kind of intermittent peering issue between eircom and other networks. Very annoying I hope someone notices soon.

TheElf

Seems OK for me now....but for how long?

EDIT: Never mind, as soon as I posted this my Youtube video stopped dead in the background.

Oafley Jones

Having the same problem for last two days. Why would this only affect certain sites such as Chud.com or thepropertypin.com and not others? It's very annoying, going to ring Eircom in the morning.

I dont know how anybody is still on eircon.


I hope the reason is yous have no other choice.

akenny01

i want to switch to BT asap . im 16 btw so i kinda hav no choice, trying to convince me da to get 8mb on bt . as i aint getting 8mb on eircom cos its limited . only unlimited for me

Gerard_Smith

Same problem here. No issues with youtube that I've seen but lots of issues with apples Website and the playstation network. I'm using OpenDNS, has it been confirmed that this is an issue with Eircom and not with them?

Eircom. As using either opendns or eircoms one leads to same results

Seemed to have resolved at around 6:20 this morning. Might have been a fluke though.

I'm still having issues.

ztoical

rang eircom and big surprise they were of no help at all - they told me it was an issue with my browser settings even thou I pointed out I had tired using 3 different browsers [firefox, safrai and explorer] and I've also tired using both my iMac and my laptop and have the same results.

Yea,was able to get the site I was looking for www.irts.ie (hosted in US) earlier this morning but gone again.
I can get through using a proxy server.

Shanegggg

Having the same problems here. Internet has been generally slow this weekend aswell.
Can't access the american dell website or parts of the irish one.
Eircom really need to get they're act together

PAU

Im with UPC and im having the same problem.

ztoical

right rang eircom again - on hold forever but got through to a much nicer person who actually listened to me and didn't just tell me it was my problem. He checked something at his end and at the moment everything seems to be working again - shall see if it lasts.

TheElf

Was just in work and it was working fine in there, They have an Eircom Business line. So it must only be home broadband customers being effected!, For now I have an SSH tunnel set through work and just using the net in there from home. Temp solution for me for now!

lynchie

I had the same issue at the weekend. Couldnt access a site from home, a friend on NTL said it was working for him, and lo and behold it works fine in work here with a eircom business line.

cregser

I'm having this problem as well.

Gerard_Smith

Today I've had issues with gmail youtube newsgator and the playstation network.

Stuxnet

i cant get onto my ps3 clan forum, its an irish site but hosted in the US
tried playing with dsl settings, ive no problem with any sites only this one (in sig) wtf
been like this over 24 hours now

Gerard_Smith

Working fine for me. There is worrying randomness about this.

marchanlon

I had some troubles at the weekend (problems reaching some sites) but things seem better today.

chrislad

Ditto here. Been having crap connection speeds and time outs for the past week or so.

hobie

I've been using the site below for the past year, almost every day and never had a problem ...... can't get into it now for the past 48 hours or so (U.S. based) ...... cannot find server is the message I get .....

http://www.rcgroups.com

can someone try it for me and report back .......

ps. Eircom email was down for me for 24 hours yesterday (I have to use it a lot) ...... now it's back and working fine since this morning ..... :cool:

Zoobie

RCGroups.com is working for me (Eircom using their DNS servers).

bazza76

I am having the same problem lads.
I cant log into one site in particular, it was two sites, but now it is down to one, both are based in the US.
Anyone know what the next step is?
Is there a handy email address I could email eircom support to get it resolved (am in work)

daveyb

I cant get to http://www.autodesk.com/ since the weekend either. Has anyone got a response from Eircom ?

lynchie

Im getting some serious issues with connecting to US based sites. Constant pings show replies now and again but mostly timing out. Same sites work over both NTL and IBB, so its a definite Eircom problem. Im getting the same issue on Eircom home and business lines so its an Eircom network issue. And its not a DNS issue, using ip addresses for connecting.. :mad::mad:

TheElf

Seems OK for me now...

*Please don't be a jinx!

bazza76

I am in too

MarkoF

Was having similar problems for the last two days.

Have just reset the router (Linksys) and problems have vanished - for now at least.

Hope this helps.

Nichololas

You guys should try Web2.0 I've heard that's better.











But seriously; on Eircom using OpenDNS servers, haven't noticed this problem, although switching to OpenDNS did solve my problem of pages hanging for 20-30 seconds.

hobie

and the U.S. site(s) I couldn't get into for the past two days are now ok too ...... didn't change/do anything ...... started working ok approx an hour ago .......

Stuxnet

back to normal for me now also, but defo an eircom problem ?
