Has anyone noticed that Google and a whole bunch of the internet is down! MSN. Bing. Ads on our website.

Yet the sandbox is up and running...

Cue Twilight zone music.

It is not the net that is down rather it is the DNS that is down.

Are you with Shaw?
I had no internet access for awhile.
The Winnipeg Free Press is reporting that customers are having problems with Shaw.

I AM with Shaw. But the sandbox was up while almost every other site I tried was not available.

Shaw's DNS (domain name servers....domain names....it's how the Internets and emails work...) servers had some issues last night for a few hours.

"If you spend any time on the Internet sending e-mail or browsing the Web, then you use domain name servers without even realizing it. Domain name servers, or DNS, are an incredibly important but completely hidden part of the Internet,
and they are fascinating. The DNS system forms one of the largest and
most active distributed databases on the planet. Without DNS, the
Internet would shut down very quickly."
(as did last night)

Thanks for explaining that in laymen's terms as I had already gone to the land of nod by the time GOM asked for clarification.

No worries....

Noticed the issue last night...it stopped me from doing my banking....after dealing with these kinds of issues all day @ work, I decided to say "f*ck this..I'll do it later" and watched the rest of the hockey game on tv! Someone else's turn to fix it!

I attempt (for some strange reason.... Google and a whole bunch of the internet is down! Icon_eek ) to at least try and explain these things to folks...or at least try to help them understand the magic going on behind the scenes a little. At the very least some context and understanding how the wizard works behind the curtain.


I blame the iPad for the outage! Google and a whole bunch of the internet is down! Icon_wink
