I've just lost all access to international websites.

Werribee, ADSL2

Is it just me?

International is now back, other issues with routing though, might be something else. Thread can be closed.

Ok now it's rooted again:

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://traceroute.org/

The following error was encountered:

Unable to determine IP address from host name for traceroute.org

The dnsserver returned:

Name Error: The domain name does not exist.

This means: The proxy server was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL. The website you have tried to view may not exist. Please check if the address is correct and retry your request.

Please contact TPG Helpdesk or the cache administrator and quote your dialup/ADSL location and IP address if you feel this error is incorrect. If you are reporting this error to the cache administrator you must include this entire error message in your email. Without the correct details we may be unable to resolve your issue.

Your cache administrator is tpg-proxy@tpgi.com.au

having similar problems here as well.

Whats going on?

What the hell.

I would understand if DNS didn't work at all, but this redirection to a PARKING ad ladened page is just terrible. Someone f-ed up majorly and needs to be fired imo.

someone is making some serious parked site referral coin there!

Hi All,

Can you guys hardcode TPG DNS (203.12.160.35/36) on your tcp/ip. If still failing, please use the one found in OpenDNS.

Please post or send result.

EC

I hard coded the DNS in before and it hasn't changed (ie. hijacked by spyware). It was clearly using TPG's DNS servers which led us to t he sedoparking page.

Someone might be tampering with TPG's dns servers =S.

Nothing has changed but the site I posted above works properly now, traceroute.org works too.

This wouldnt have helped as the problem appeared to be with TPG's DNS, and during the downtime OpenDNS was one of the affected/redirected sites.

edit: not sure if the problems are still existing, but everything appears to be back to normal for me (TPG Sydney CBD)

I've tried both and they both don't work.

yes Im getting sedo parking for everything. Jesus.

Changing the DNS results in the same problem, and like others, I cant get to OpenDNS.

Yay!

For those who cannot reach OpenDNS, their DNS locations are:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

OpenDNS servers.

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Also if you have a proxy specified in your browser. Then try without.

Everything's working back to normal now – with proxy back in place. Did TPG have an issue with their DNS? Cos surely we all couldn't have been effected at the same time by a local issue on our machines?

still having problems

Also had the same probs with international sites

restarted my connection and it seems to be working fine now
