International probs ?

[Luke7777]

A number of sites this morning comes up with "unable to open" or "server not found" . Access thru ADSL (WA-Unshaped) works

http://www.ookla.com/speedtest/ is one of them, which sometimes work and sometimes not

I am seeing this with other sites, including my first load of this forum today. Seems to be an intermittent DNS problem.

I have been getting this sporadically. Could it be specific to certain IPs assigned to your machine when you log on to iBurst?

Hi guys, same issue here. Many sites come up immediately as "The page cannot be displayed" and say that it could be an issue with the DNS server or LAN settings. Nothing has changed in the settings, but there were two power failures last night here (I connected to Linksfield tower in JHB).

Funny thing is, it is very sporadic, such that if I try the same site 5 minutes later it may work fine.

You could try to change your DNS settings to OpenDNS.

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

It didn't work for me though. Apparently I'm being routed through an iburst proxy...

I've been running those dns settings for past few days, and have not had blank pages as a result, though they still dont resolve the opendns test pages.
