SAOL dropping connection?

[Peter7]

Anybody else experiencing a sudden loss of connectivity with SAOL.com?

It's happened to me twice today. All of a sudden I lose my connection and can't get authenticated with SAOL's auth servers. Usually after a reboot the problem seems to disappear (rebooting the router doesn't help).

Hi, my gf had the same problems today, so she called me to come have a look what's going on with SAOL.COM. Did some tests etc..
What are the DNS servers allocated when you re-connect? Seems something has changed by checking DNS.

Latest DNS queries.
DNS1. -196.43.46.190:53
DNS2. -196.43.38.190:53

Previous DNS before their scheduled system upgrade: 1-3-2006
196.25.255.34:53
196.25.255.3:53

I'll check tomorrow with them - If you routing your connection through a Linux/BSD box, turn IDS/SNORT on & examine the logs.

Regards,

I was having too much grief with the server assigned DNS servers, so I've changed my PDNS and SDNS to 196.43.1.11 and 196.25.1.1, respectively.

This is the most stable DNS configuration I've experienced so far.
