Having Long delays in Logging in, posting messages or most anything Tonight (4-4-11)

I am having trouble just getting along using the openSUSE forums tonight from my part of the world. Its the same from more than one PC. When I came home, around 4:00 PM CST, i could not even get a login for the longest. It is better now, but not gone at nearly 7:00 pm CST. I get no error message or anything, just a browser waiting for something. Just wondering if I am alone with this issue today?

Thank You,

I have not seen any slowness. I’m guessing that it is a routing problem or congestion problem affecting your Internet service.

Well just now at 9:02 PM CST, Time Warner Cable came up and told me it could not find openSUSE.org, for a couple of minutes. So the issue is bigger than just my local connection though I suppose it could be Road Runner having a DNS issue of some sort.

Thank You,

Hi
There are some issues with the build service at the moment, probably ichains… I’m not having any issues though.

I noticed it a little
Someone in #suse said search was down too

At 7:18 PM CST 4-5-2011 forums.openSUSE.org dropped off of the earth here in Austin. Time Warner Servers could not find it for over five minutes meaning some sort of DNS system problem some where again.

Thank You,

Hi
Use openDNS for your DNS servers rather than your ISP?

malcolmlewis Hi

I just switched my PC over to openDNS and we will see how that does. I can put it directly in my router as well, but if it is the Time Warner DNS servers, my new local setup should work without a problem. Thanks for the suggestion malcolmlewis. It is kind of funny about the openDNS setup as I did a message for someone on this very subject, but when it works, DNS is just something going on in the background as you know and you don’t think about it all that much. On a previous occasion last year, I had tried another DNS setup, said to be safer and faster and then one night it was having a problem when Time Warner was not and I removed it. I can’t even remember what servers I was using then. Oh Well, memory is the second thing to go they say.

Thank You,

Hi
I’ve been uing them for a number of years now after the Bellsouth ones went AWOL one day, never missed a beat since. Yes, I set them on my router and then just in case the primary ISP one as a third.

Well as usual, you have the great ideas. I never though to put my local ISP in for the third DNS server. That is an excellent suggestion malcolmlewis.

Thank You,

if it happens again, point your browser at this bookmark: 130.57.4.15

So tonight at 9:18 PM CST, my newly setup openDNS servers said it could not find the openSUSE forums. It took a couple of minutes to clear. You know I really have no idea just what is going on, but something very odd is occurring for me. I suspect it is more than one issue going on at the same time, but not sure where to start looking.

Thank You,

Hi
Maybe they are doing ipv6 work?

during that time, you might see if you could connect your browser via
the given IP…if you can, its pretty certain a DNS problem somewhere…

if you can’t connect to the IP, then quick run in a root terminal:


traceroute 130.57.4.15

and, you should be able to learn where the non-DNS-dependent path is
broken…

hmmmm (i’m not a network guru) but i guess if you then immediately ran
“traceroute forums.opensuse.org” the two results should be close to the
same (the actual path might be different to the problem, but i’d guess
you would see the same router error out…

heh, i just did a “traceroute forums.opensuse.COM” and it died after
nine hops, in Amsterdam…which i suppose is the point that path goes
underwater…so, as long as it was bouncing around europe it had not
checked DNS to see if that address at *.com existed, but when it did,
the trip ended…

you know, i just might error out in your router, or a server soon hit in
your ISPs net…either of those should be fixable by you (or a phone
call to the ISP)

but, all of that is off topic for this forum…
