OFFICIAL DOWNTIME THREAD

One of the computers was infected with a spam-sending trojan, and the ISP's idea is well to just disable the connection. The technician was looking at it, didnt know what could be wrong, till he thougt if maybe it's a blocked connection.

The connection will return at 20:30 shard time, then they will see whether it's ok. If it's not, they will take it down for the night again.

Well, just messed up

They don't know how to block the MAC address so that one computer isn't able to communicate? And let the other machines communicate?

If this was the solution for the major trunks, we would all be disconnected most of the time.

Well there's 3 computers, all connected thru the server (the one that has UO on aswell). The server has very little software installed, only the required things, but if any of those computers gets infected, they see it as if it's coming from my IP (they dont know how many computers i have behind the server). I could have all of my neighbours on it, but then the problem is, as soon as one would get infected, everyone would get cut off.
So yea, ... not a very good solution (they could at least warn me first, so I would solve the problem without any downtime).

Is it just my connection or is the server down? I lost connection about 5pm eastern time yesterday and still cant connect. I was just unshrinking pets to try to rescue someone that had died at OP. Temple. Are my pets lost by now or is the server down and we might have a small revert? I have countless plants and beehives I need to treat daily. I am now at 24 hr period since they were treated. (sigh)

Oh and I can connect to other servers so its either the server or my connection to it ie maybe the bloody underwater cables again.

shouldnt be.

despite the fifth cable (out of 5) being damaged as well, there have been repairs to that weeks ago.

if you use uogateway/connectUO then yeah... maybe their servers are on whe whack.

that said: the servers ISP (we know its not your fault, coli) are being asses again, today.

That isp is real scam >,<, hope it come back soon i was having a lot of fun.

Up again in record time O=

Yes, at about 10:40 shard time it lost conection again, but i see it was about a 30 minute downtime so yes hehe record time.

Well, i requested they send a technician over, to either replace the modem or well whatever they do, just make it work like it used to

A good connection is the foundation of running such a server, that's why we even started... renting servers costs about 100$ a month which is something donations couldnt cover. Anyway, a tech guy will be coming tomorrow and hopefully this will be over soon.

OldManAlewar · Post by **OldManAlewar** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 5:09 am

let us hope and pray this is the tech replacing the modem.

Post by **+Colibri** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 5:28 am

No tech yet, but still, it's now ONLINE.

Post by **+Colibri** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 2:55 pm

Well i finally found out that the big upgrade a few weeks ago is causing some problems, there's some unexpected signals that go back and forth, causing users to loose connection. They say it should be fixed by monday, but still, i intend to buy a router, which reconnects automatically after a disconnect.
