Posting this on behalf of Sue.


Sue is getting a message "DNS error occured. Server cannot be found."


Happens whether going to EDF directly, via google or by emailed links.


Using Firefox.


Obviously anyone else having the same problem won't be able to post to say so.


Getting onto other websites OK.


Is this likely to be a more general problem? Help!

I've been getting this message on a regular basis now ever since the last upgrade:


The connection has timed out


The server at www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk is taking too long to respond.


* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

moments.


* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

connection.


* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.


(I'm going to copy this over to the "Ask Admin" thread, in case Admin don't pick this up here).

>does seem to be a problem at the server end rather than at our end then.


Or anywhere en route.


I came across http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com on a Virgin forum today. Can't vouch for its accuracy, but probably worth trying. Just replace google.com with the relevant URL.

The error messages highlighted above have happened to me on a couple of occassion over the years on the forum. I haven't had them for a long time tho and not since any recent ugrades - and that is on 4 different devices


In the past the messages just went away and I assumed it was something on my router or ISP side


I wonder if Ladymuck and Sue share a common ISP or anything else which might narrow the cause down?

If it's really bad, another useful diagnostic might be to run tracert:


tracert www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk


If running Windows, you can run it in a Dos[-like] command (cmd) window.


It reports the times spent on individual hops from node to node by packets in three trials.

It's taking twenty hops for me, at present, half of those at my ISP's end!, but always getting through.


One server en route, te1-7.mpd01.lon01.atlas.cogentco.com, currently seems to be a consistently weak link from where I am (not all test packets getting through), though I don't know whether that necessarily indicates it as a significant increaser of perceived latency. The test is likely to be more informative in cases where your browser does time-out.

Our support people have said:


Network Issues

We are receiving reports that some some ISPs' customers are experiencing network issues reaching our services. This is due to a hardware failure at the London Internet Exchange earlier this morning.


Update 10.35am

Our network provider has decided to re-route traffic, thus avoiding the LINX hardware problem. Our services should now be visible from all routes and ISPs.


-------------


I guess this has to do with the trace route timing out so I'm afraid it's out of my control. If you are still having issues after 6pm please could you post a message on here and I will raise a ticket with our support people.

Hello Admin,


Hubby has finally got around to having a look at the timing out problem which I have been experiencing. I just thought I should let you know that, in our case, it is definitely not an EDF server/network issue - rather, a phone extension matter from our end (which, he promises me, he will sort out in no time at all, ha ha ha).


Apologies if I caused you sleepless nights.

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
