[Eircom] some webpages not opening

ztoical · 12-10-2008 3:01pm #1

Hey guys, wondering if anyone else is having issues with some webpages not opening with Eircom? I haven't been able to get Livejournal to open for two days and youtube comes and goes.

yoyo · 12-10-2008 4:15pm

Same prob guys, are you guys using opendns? I am and having the problem, I'm doubting its opendns is the cause but I mite try using eircons own one later :S :pac:

Just a update, I think the problem is with opendns, as using eircons own works fine:
Primary DNS:
213.94.190.194

Secondary DNS:
213.94.190.236

My opendns settings are saved on the router, too much stress to go changing em with other family online so I changed them on my pc, to change them on your machine, check THIS GUIDE if on vista, open network and sharing centre, view status of connection, click properties, should see same screen as linked

Edit: Change settings for Internet Protocol Version 4

I'm having these problems too, I've noticed it seems to be resolving IP addresses from America.

I spotted it about 2 days ago, and i presumed it was OpenDNS so switched back to eircoms DNS but still no joy. It's a pain in the ass is what it is!

joolsveer · 12-10-2008 6:15pm

I am having the same problem. I use opendns all the time.

yoyo · 12-10-2008 6:45pm

Youtube has now again quit working, must be eircons problem I would imagine...

Same here - but was using eircom DNS all the time

akenny01 · 12-10-2008 7:42pm

its back now for the time being, it just comes n goes, damn you eircom

ethernet · 12-10-2008 7:48pm

Also on OpenDNS. Issues loading youtube.ie, Facebook and others.

paul150 · 12-10-2008 10:05pm

Im having problems loading some sites also, id say its more to do with eircom than anything else

RFHost · 12-10-2008 10:05pm

Ya it appears to be some kind of routing issue to certain networks. Seems to be primarily affecting US based sites.

Doesn't look like a DNS issue to me as the domains resolve to an IP but just have no connectivity. Traceroute is also showing some weird results. Definitely looks like some kind of intermittent peering issue between eircom and other networks. Very annoying I hope someone notices soon.

TheElf · 12-10-2008 10:38pm

Seems OK for me now....but for how long?

EDIT: Never mind, as soon as I posted this my Youtube video stopped dead in the background.

Oafley Jones · 12-10-2008 10:57pm

Having the same problem for last two days. Why would this only affect certain sites such as Chud.com or thepropertypin.com and not others? It's very annoying, going to ring Eircom in the morning.

12-10-2008 11:05pm

I dont know how anybody is still on eircon.

I hope the reason is yous have no other choice.

akenny01 · 12-10-2008 11:16pm

i want to switch to BT asap . im 16 btw so i kinda hav no choice, trying to convince me da to get 8mb on bt . as i aint getting 8mb on eircom cos its limited

. only unlimited for me

Gerard_Smith · 13-10-2008 12:44am

Same problem here. No issues with youtube that I've seen but lots of issues with apples Website and the playstation network. I'm using OpenDNS, has it been confirmed that this is an issue with Eircom and not with them?

Eircom. As using either opendns or eircoms one leads to same results

Seemed to have resolved at around 6:20 this morning. Might have been a fluke though.

I'm still having issues.

ztoical · 13-10-2008 10:19am

rang eircom and big surprise they were of no help at all - they told me it was an issue with my browser settings even thou I pointed out I had tired using 3 different browsers [firefox, safrai and explorer] and I've also tired using both my iMac and my laptop and have the same results.

Yea,was able to get the site I was looking for www.irts.ie (hosted in US) earlier this morning but gone again.
I can get through using a proxy server.

Shanegggg · 13-10-2008 10:39am

Having the same problems here. Internet has been generally slow this weekend aswell.
Can't access the american dell website or parts of the irish one.
Eircom really need to get they're act together
