[CrazyMadMan]

Hey all I have been unable to get onto the site wikipedia.org for the whole day, I am on the Brixton Tower, anyone else having this problem?

Same here.

nslookup en.wikipedia.org
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 10.0.0.2: Timed out
*** Default servers are not available
Server: UnKnown
Address: 10.0.0.2

DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Request to UnKnown timed-out

Seems to be a DNS issue, I have only been able to access Wikipedia using tor.

Did somebody report it yet to Telkom ???.

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

-------------------------------------
I hope that its online soon again. Internet isnt the same without Wikipedia.

heh, seems I'm the 2nd one to post an nslookup...

C:\Documents and Settings\bdt>nslookup
Default Server: ns4.infosat.net
Address: 66.18.68.1

> wikipedia.org
Server: ns4.infosat.net
Address: 66.18.68.1

DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.

*** Request to ns4.infosat.net timed-out
> cnn.com
Server: ns4.infosat.net
Address: 66.18.68.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: cnn.com
Addresses: 64.236.16.52, 64.236.16.84, 64.236.16.116, 64.236.24.12
64.236.24.20, 64.236.24.28, 64.236.29.120, 64.236.16.20

..so they're definitely not doing well! I also went to cnn.com after that lookup- loads up fine. I've been unable to get into chipmark.com today as well though; damned annoying, that!
