Intermittent Issues

[sheila]

Stagg has informed me that they are having some issues at the hosting facility. They have someone on the job and at the place trying to make sure that everything is fixed. There may be some more intermittent outages as they unplug and replug things to get it all working well.

I apologize for any inconvenience as they get things sorted out.

Whew! I thought it was something on my end at work (like they had cut my access! :errr: ). Good to know it's not. :lol:

[Bridget]

That's what I thought this morning too. :lol2: Although we're having internet issues at my company on top of whatever is happening here... I need to lay off the Orwell.

[Nocona]

I thought it was my company too until I started getting e-mails from my girls :lol:

[JennyB]

Me too! I was thinking to myself, "What the hell am I supposed to do all day if they cut my internet access to OUAL?"

to test that nichole, you can ping oual. if it comes up server not found, then oual is down.

[Nichole]

Ping? :scratch: Pretend like I know nothing about computers and tell me how I might do that. :lol:

But if they block access to the site, you wouldn't be able to ping it either.

[kim]

you can! my company has blocked photobucket but i can still ping it. i think they're using websense to filter.

pretend? :lol2:

open a command prompt (DOS window? the little black box thingy in your taskbar? :lol: )

at the c: prompt simply type ping www.onceuponalife.com

[Nichole]

:eviltongu I almost said "pretend I'm smart" and thought better of that. :lol:

Now that you say that, I think I've done it before. It obviously didn't get stored in long term memory. :lol:

It doesn't work here - if a site is blocked you can't ping it either.

I was wondering what was going on this AM. I thought maybe y'all had some bad weather that knocked the server out.

[staggats]

i bet you guys didn't notice when we cut our 100mb peer to cogent tonight. OSPF switched us over to gnax easy greasy. Graham (Our routing guy) worked hard to make sure nothing in the cage went down during the failover. He was concerned about calls from georgia aquarium though, but I keep reminding him to fear you guys.

Gosh, even when I read that it sound like the teacher from Peanuts.

[MamaGoofy]

Huh??? :scratch: You funny people!! :lol2:

[JennyB]

:woa:

I think we could have used an intermittent issue last night!!

(I'm sorry. I couldn't resist!)

[staggats]

Things didn't go so well this morning. OOPS. But I think the end result is better.

[Stacy]

I wondered why for a bit I was the only one on around 8am.

apology accepted. :heee:

This time it wasn't power that took us off, it was one of our upstream providers. They apparantly had a routing loop, and the people in their organization who show up before 9:30 am don't have a clue as to how to fix these things. So they are fired. Anyways sorry for the interruption, thanks to any who helped make us aware of the problem.

Thanks Stagg! I noticed it went out like last night at about 1 am in the morn....I was just able to log back on recently. For a second, I thought it was just me. :crazy: Good to know I wasn't alone. ;) :lol:

I was going through withdrawl :tearhair: glad we're back :up:

[magoo]

I was going nuts because Jo was in labour and I wanted to check in and see if she'd had the baby. :lol:

[MrsPeacefrog]

luckily the majority of the time for you guys was while you were sleeping but I couldn't get on the whole afternoon or evening, which is my OUAL time :blue: :lol:
