No its them :whistle:

[Crisis management]

Good, I thought it was me.

Mind you, I also thought it might be the ultimate rejection of the seperate NZ forum.....

[Motu]

Down since last night.

[Crisis management]

Nice sewing machine motu, 2 stroke?

[Motu]

Pity you can't read the brand name in an avatar size - it's a Lada.....

advrider has been working fine for me, from what i gather without a hitch, ive only been checking it every so often as per usual from about 4;30pm today, think it may be your isp, think i saw someone say something somewhere about a bad route through auckland,,

god bless xnet :)

[merv]

So now we are even. Remember the great thread over there when KB was in trouble until Spank upgraded, the boys that frequented ADV were just so condescending about it haha lol ;) :whistle: :clap:

Are you serious? I can't get on

[Steam]

It's fine here in Dunedin. Regular old Telecom broadband.

[young1]

Nope still no go :-( I have even had to resort to looking at trip reports on the KTM Talk site

[zeRax]

feel sorry for you, advrider is so huge its awesome,

sometimes its a bit too huge, i still dont know lots of knooks and cranies in it, lots of stuff to be found!

[tri boy]

OK, so seems the pig islder's can't hook up, but the mainlanders can.
What have you sthern lads been up to?
Fess up ya bugga's.:Pokey:

[Big Dave]

I can access and post no probs

[far queue]

I can access and post no probsI can't :blank: Using Telecom broadband and firefox and getting "The server at www.advrider.com is taking too long to respond."

[deanohit]

I can't :blank: Using Telecom broadband and firefox and getting "The server at www.advrider.com is taking too long to respond."

Yep, same here, it sucks. :(

[tri boy]

Nordie said something about "Global Gateway" might be a weak link.
Who/what are they, and who's heads do I need to bang together to get it sorted.
:2guns:

[Crisis management]

It certainly ain't working for me, must be a conspiracy.

I'll have to work on the bike instead!!

Happy Easter you lot.

[trustme]

The resident expert [ my son ] says the problem is at their end .
To those guys who can get the site, I have a question.
Is the site aware of the problem ,are there any posts re this problem?.
It should show up to them as a reduced number of hits
If there is nothing re the access could one of you contact them & alert them of the fact that a fair nember of us can't get our daily fix
Cheers , Paul

[Ixion]

Working for me over a vodem.

[merv]

I hadn't bothered checking until now and its fine with me on Slingshot.

[marks]

I r not a happy camper

one of you should do something about this and FIX IT :baby:

actually looks like a DNS problem

can someone who can access the site ping it and post the ip address please.

I've tried pinging it to and its failing, I can resolve it fine and have even tried using Public DNS servers instead of Telecon's to resolve and ping, same result.
I've done a traceroute and it never gets beyond the NZ dns servers so something is not happy.

I need my Advrider fix so have resorted to using a proxy site until it works again.

so try imfine.info or any other proxy site will do.

[merv]

Still working for me, so what's up?

[Ixion]

Works fine for me through a vodem connection. Fails through telescum ADSL

Ergo, Telescum have yet again fucked up their routings.

This route works (Vodafone vodem)

So, if you can't get through, ring Telescum ADSL services and abuse the shit out of them. Actually, even if you can get through, or even if you don't give a stuff about ADVRider, ring Telescum ADSL services and abuse the shit out of them anyway. They deserve it.

Be careful though , there's an awfulk lot of shit there - better have a ladder handy.

[dmc]

I would talk to xtra but I don't feel like the grief, their tech support is so bad its not funny.
I have dealt with alot of ISP's through my work and most are light years ahead of Telecon. :spanking::spanking::spanking:

[Aslan]

working fine via TelstraClear - neither of these two telcos peer at the peering exchanges - many smaller ISPs do - could be that Telecom has lost its upstream connection to the WWW?

[pete376403]

odd - I'm on Telstra cable (wellington) and still can't ping either by name or number.
Tracert fails after 8 hops. Reach networks HK Ltd - Hong Kong? Maybe it's not Telecoms fault

Works fine for me through a vodem connection. Fails through telescum ADSL

Ergo, Telescum have yet again fucked up their routings.

Fails with Snap as well.
A traceroute doesn't get past Global Gateway.

SmugMug works and AdvRider is hosted as part of SmugMug.

[Kennif]

Beats me - connected ok this morning. All fixed thinks I. Won't connect now! Bugger.

[deanohit]

Found it's working when I switched to Internet Explorer instead of Firefox.

[Kennif]

:headbang:
Logged on through the work laptop which connects to Vodafone through an air-card.
No problems - straight through ... sounds as if it could be a Telecom problem alright.

I emailed Telecom. They explained to me how the internet works and that it's not their fault. Perhaps I should point out to them that their competitors don't seem to have the same problem.

[Steam]

I don't understand why anyone is still with Telecom if they can help it. Why? ? Laziness in changing providers?

Telecom is nothing but bad.
The only good thing is they do your thinking for you.

[merv]

Kennif you're about the only Kiwi that's posted over at ADV recently in the regional forum other than me. I don't go there much and it sure is quiet there now - much more fun here. Is it really Telecom's problem?

[Motu]

ADV has loaded a couple of times for me,then won't go any further.No big deal - the internet could collapse tomorrow and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one clapping.

I've got their old go large plan. Unlimited broadband downloads for $49. Which provider will do the same? I have had virtually zero problems with Telecom. They also seem to have the spam issue under control at the moment. In other words, it works for me.

67% staff discount on their Adventure plan :2thumbsup

Have had a wee chat on Blame John/ Ask Baldy

Just stay here at KB and enjoy yourself (while I say that ADV is still working fine for me) :calm: :hug: :whistle:.

Assuming you are running Windows of one sort or another

Click Start
Click Run
Type in 'cmd' (no quotes)
A black box type screen will appear

Type 'tracert www.advrider.com' (no quotes) and hit enter

A bunch of stuff like that in my earlier post will appear.
Right click on the tiny little black square at the top left of the black window (at the left of the blue border)
A menu box will pop up.
Click on Edit
Click on Select All Everything in the black window should be highlighted
Click on Copy

Now go write an email to your ISP service desk

Tell them that they are routing through a dead route. Paste the stuff you just copied into the email
Tell them to fix it.

It is purely a Telescum issue.

[pete376403]

It's now working for me thru T/C cable. Was starting to worry

[tri boy]

Yep. Back up for me too. All the emails to telecom must of got somebody off their slack arse to sort it.
I received the "churned out" corporate reply. We can't be responsible for all web faults. Blah blah blah. Funny how it got fixed hours after people emailing them:innocent:

[young1]

Excellent, whoever bugged Telecom to get it fixed - Thank you very much!
