SAOL internet down

[macbeth]

Anyone else getting error messages when they try and connect to anything other than a .co.za site?
my email is down as well...?

Seems to be a problem locally as we had it at work and we are on the Saix backbone so its not only SAOL ...

Yep, can't seem to reach most international sites at the moment.

It seems to be a DNS issue. I changed mine manually and everything appears okay now. I'll change back to automatic DNS later and see if the problem has been resolved.

I called them and they said it was a problem with the SAIX backbone.
Strange...

Seems to work fine now though?

With the new DNS, yup. Oh, in case anyone else is interested (and you don't know any DNS servers offhand):

Google DNS:

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

Open DNS:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
