Whirlpool

G'day.
In the last week i've run into a problem of certain websites no longer loading.
before last week www.tankspot.com and www.4chan.org loaded fine, now they just time out.
I'm on the wynnum(brisbane) exchange, so i went to my girlfriends house who is also with tpg and tested them on her exchange (Yeronga) and they didn't load there either.

I asked friends with other ISP's and they load fine. What is going on?

cheers

Yeah. I have a similar problem too.

.

. Sorry triple post. My net is going nuts.

Contacted support?

What did they say?

not yet. everytime i've had a problem with tpg, the whirlpool forums have solved it faster :P

i'll give them a call now

To check the site if it is down please check it hear -> http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/?tag=is%20this%20site%20down

I'm getting errors on www.4chan.org when check the site in http://www.alertra.com/.

Hey Jason.
Using the looking glass tool, both websites seem to be up and running(nslookup,trace and ping giving results)

I just tried a dns flush (ipconfig -dnsflush) but it did not help.

any thoughts?

**edit** 4chan is actually down. so we can take that off the list.

tankspot on the other hand is up according to down for everyone or just me

Ok, I need you to run a telnet test result on www.tankspot.com. You may follow the instructions here and send the results to forum_admin@tpg.com.au.

Jason

where are the instructions? i've never used telnet before.

4chan got DDoS'ed hard by some other group, its on reddit.com. Its been down for a good 4 days or so now.

Not too sure about tankspot.

Might be these instructions from the troubleshooting proxy issue sticky on TPG's forum: http://www.tpg.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2188

Hmm, Tankspot is working fine here...

This is the second part of a series of articles regarding WotLK that will be presented over the coming weeks. Xav was asked to write this due to experiences and knowledge as a tester and as a main tank for Premonition of Alleria-US.

Are you still having trouble getting in???

:)

yeah i still can't load tankspot :(

i don't know why

G'Day,

Using http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ it looks like this site is down.

Regards

well downforeveryone still states that tankspot.com is up, and i still cant access it :/

G'Day,

Are you sure? I just tried and got "Huh? doesn't look like a site on the interwho."

Regards

Edit: using proxy1 or proxy2.tpgi.com.au

Edit1: just tried using a different ISP that terminates in Singapore... the site www.tankspot.com does not respond.

I just changed to canberra proxy 2 (cbr-pow-pr2.tpgi.com.au)
and.... it loads fine.
looks like a problem with brisbane proxy?

I have heard that TPG keeps getting banned from 4chan because a TPG user keeps uploading illegal stuff from the proxy??

I am not a TPG user and I do not visit this site however I found that quite disturbing.

Hi
www.tankspot.com works for me but i am using proxy2.tpg.com.au, loaded up just fine. I didn't bother with www.4chan.org considering everyone else in the thread did say it was down.

F

Can anyone provide pointers re how to change tpg proxy? I'm in Qld & experiencing intermittent page loading errors on sites that are confirmed to be working.
