Thanks to all the folks who posted here about just changing my router's dns servers. Changed 'em, saved the settings, rebooted my computer and I'm happening!

You would think they would keep a close eye after that major outage last week. Oh well, we have backup DNS servers :D
You really think ths is comcasts fault, let me see the issue begins with latency, and timeouts, then escalates into a fullblow outage. Making the DNS servers in accessible, needless to ask, what outside force could be taking down the servers?
Comcast
»uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?ho···cast.com

Uptime does not look good and lots going on their in that picture.

AT&T
»uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=att.com

What would you expect, UNIX is meant to run the net.

Cox
»uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=cox.com

Notice the uptime improvement when they upgraded to win2003 server. I think win2k server is too patched together to be affective as a critical service server and needs to be patched via upgrade to win2003. Out side influence indeed.

Good point P?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13158107 Wed, 13 Apr 2005 08:41:23 EDT Re: It's sad... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13157761 jansm38 : I use Comcast as the Primary and 4.2.2.2 as the secondary.

I never noticed any outage since most of my page requests were already cached in XP and anything new went to the Secondary. There may have been a slight delay while waiting a second or two for the Comcast DNS request to time out.

It's generally not a good idea to use someone elses DNS server as your Primary as it's putting an extra unanticipated load on them. When they do their requirements forcasting they only use their own customer base in the equation, they're not considering the load of a few million extra requests coming from the Comcast network. What could end up happening if the load gets to be too much is the other DNS host could block requests from anyone not on their network, that would be a bad thing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13157761 Wed, 13 Apr 2005 07:05:10 EDT Re: It's sad... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13157328 pkarlos_76 :
