Hi guys,

I have a local only account with Webafrica.

My problem is that when I connect using the account, I can't browse any websites (local or not).

My DNS settings are:
Primary: 196.4.50.190
Sec. : 196.4.50.193

I have a feeling that my DNS is incorrect.

What are the correct dns settings for local only Webafrica accounts (SAIX)?

:(

You don't need any DNS settings! :confused:

Just leave them blank (auto-assigned)

Hi Ferdi

There is currently an outage on the saix network (an underwater cable broke) all adsl users is affected by this outage.
The symptoms of the outage is no connectivity or intermittent connectivity

Hi

International accounts has also been affected by the outage, however mostly local browsing has been the issue.
With international browsing all our adsl users have been experiencing intermittent connectivity

Keep well and have a lovely evening further :-)
 
Hi

SAIX has confirmed that they are experiencing concerns on the network.
Unplanned maintenance on the exchange is the reason behind the connectivity issues.
SAIX confirmed that the outage has been resolved, however we have just received notification that the outage is still occurring.
