Hi guys

I can not access International sites. Same on your side?
 
Not having any problems myself. Of course I expect that to change at anytime.

(Via Saix reseller)
 
I can access some, but not all. steampowered.com, tv.com and others don't work for me, and i've been having problems for the past week or so. Using WebAfrica, in cape town.

I phoned the mweb support centre today and they reported that saix is having problems with the network in cape-town(usual it's being sorted,ect,ect)
 
International on my side is still dead (using axxess). Anyone else having the same issues?
 
Are you going via SAIX or IS bb_matt? A ping to www.google.com gives me:

I just phoned the SAIX helpdesk (0800 222 772) and they said that there are no faults on their international lines. What ISP are you using Pupa?

WebAfriaca.
Interesting find Telkom Ipnet or other have problem Visul route to Mweb and Telkom is very unstable. Maybe problem on My side. Was ok today earlier.

Cant ping www.telkom.co.za with visualrout. 100% packet loss is this normal ?? for this Host address (not pingable

Message from Visual route 5

Analysis: Node 'www.mweb.co.za' was found in 11 hops (TTL=245). The TCP/IP stack on 'www.mweb.co.za' appears to have a bug. It uses the incoming TTL as the outgoing TTL of an ICMP packet. It is a HTTP server

That's cooked, I can't ping them either, and I'm running through saix - ha ha ha!

AFAIK webafrica use IS as their backbone.

This really, really sucks.

You are right Here is analysis result for Telkom


Analysis: Connections to HTTP port 80 on host 'www.telkom.co.za' are working, but ICMP packets are being blocked past network "196.25.2.0" at hop 24. It is a HTTP server (running Oracle9iAS/9.0.2.3.0 Oracle HTTP Server
Oracle9iAS-Web-Cache/9.0.2.3.0 (N)). Node 196.25.2.138 at hop 24 in network "196.25.2.0" reports "The destination network is unreachable".

Yes I know clipse what you want to tell me , Is there a problem or issue there?

I mere find my Visual tracerout graphs strange as they are not consistent as usual. Telkom side mostky. (or Saix?) Here is a lot of thunder and static in JHB. Maybe the reason ? cos International sux even via NukeCap proxy, so problem can be on Telkom lines due to static ???

I dont have an idea what SAIX could have been up to now, they all seem to suprise me.

I havnt got the faintest idea atm what the issue may be, the users hit with these slowdowns atm is in the 0.1% margin tho, everyone else seem to be humming along.
