Resnet Down...!

Scooby · Post by **Scooby** » Thu Nov 24, 2005 4:27 pm

Dunno if this has been in any of the other threads but Resnet wasn't working for me (and everyone else I spoke to today from other residences) from early last night (1am) until around about 30mins ago (16:00)... It was literally cut off across campus!

Anyone have any reasons for it?! I don't fancy this happening more frequently!

r was down at westwood
i spoke to a few ppl who got theirs working, by using a static ip address and a different dns server.or something like that.

Yes if u read in other topics its the piazza DNS server thats died.. so if u enter another DNS server manually then u should be able to get access.. btw has someone contacted ITS and told them that their DNS server died?? cus they may not kno yet!! unless they put actually engineers on the job the random noobie techie type receptionist staff are never gonna figure it out

ITS have said on their website that there was a major fault in the network so everybody had to be disconnected

It's all working again now...! Yeh I noticed the posts about the DNS server after I wrote this one

You're right there echelon... I doubt that they would have picked up on a "major fault" at 1am in the morning when it all stopped working... I don't think anyone would have been there to disconnect everyone! I mean, they probably all leave work early because they obviously don't spend their days working on their networks!

the question is how are they gonna manage to blame this on DC++ like they do with all their other problems.

something along the lines off "OMGZ YOU KILLED R SERVER WITH P2P :O"

anyway it was really annoying having no internet - i couldnt check emails or anything

it was p2p there is nothing else that could cause it (apart from the rats in our basement chewing through the master cable

)

LMFAO thats prob in their offices on the worst case seneriao board

"IF INTERNET FAILS: BLAME P2P UNTILL WE ACTUALLY KNOW WHATS GOING ON, AND IF ITS OUT FAULT BLAME P2P SOME MORE"

I think that ITS have been watching too much Bugs and think they know what they are talking about
