They had this problem four days ago where you could not connect using Comcast DNS servers and now again tonight the same problem.

This appears to be a nationwide issue once again and I do not know if some group is targeting Comcast servers or they are doing work on the network.

To get connection working again use any DNS servers other then Comcasts.

If you do not know how to change DNS --> How to change DNS servers

List of DNS servers to use instead of Comcasts (only need to use two):

Verizon
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
4.2.2.4
4.2.2.5
4.2.2.6

I use 204.127.199.8(primary) and 68.87.64.196(secondary)
 
I run a dnscache machine which searches from the root-servers on down. saves loads of problems, esp last year when my ISPs nameservers started being stupid

nice heads up for comcast users though
 
is this why i have been getting dropped randomly if it is 5minutes or 50minutes but still getting dropped? nm did it :) lets hope it works and stays up
 
update for Comcast users..DNS DOWN AGAIN! 9:07 EST. Reports are comming in
from all over country...switching again to verizon DNS..bah!!
 
UGGHHHHHHHHHH this is getting me almost to the point of switching
 
Reminds me of AT&T days. :rolleyes:

this is getting rediculus, this has been going on almost nightly for almost 2 weeks here. Guess I'll use the Verizon DNS until I hear comcast get there sh*t together.

Rep pts for the DNS #'s. Thanks.
 
when changing dns #s does it matter where you are located. I am in chicago and wanted to change them but wasn't sure if it matters at all??

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
