ADV Rider

[deanohit]

I can't 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.

[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

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

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.

[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.
