I had a hunch

My parents called around 6:30 this evening complaining that their internet wasn't working (they're in Atlanta; I'm in Pittsburgh). So after determining that they did have DSL sync, I pretty much assumed it was a DNS problem. I walked my dad through the process of configuring the computer to use OpenDNS, and everything was fine. Glad to discover that my hunch was correct, even if it has been a major pain for BellSouth users tonight.

I didn't even notice any problems...

I always use OpenDNS, so I didn't even notice there was a problem... At least AT&T can keep their network up and running, even if their DNS servers are a bit spotty...

Chicago affected

It didn't just affect subscribers in the South. My AT&T/SBC DSL service in Chicago was out about 6 hours overnight.

Re: Chicago affected

and now a mention on CNN.com:

At the Internet forum DSLreports.com, people in several of the affected states posted reports of problems Monday night. Many said it appeared to be an issue with AT&T's domain name servers, which help direct Internet traffic to its destinations.

Does DNS affect Email?

My email client (thunderbird) will not connect to pop.bellsouth.net either.
Anyone have the numeric address for the ATT pop & smtp?

OpenDNS

Does OpenDNS still redirect to the search page on some websites?

DNS outage

I'm highly mad, I lost an ebay auction due to not being able to bid on a very hard to find item, I wonder if it's worth sending an angry letter to AT&T, Though they could never replace what I lost out on, Doubt I'll ever see another for sale.

ATT DSL outage 12/3/07

I read the outage was fixed about 10pm Monday. NOT SO. I had trouble Monday night, all day Tuesday, Tuesday night I gave up after countless hours trying to diagnose and clean my system. Wednesday morning all seems well. Glen

Router Problems

Due to the AT&T outage my router needs to be re-configured and seeing as how the router is out of warranty and I'm not the computer savvy type person, I'm going to have to either buy a new router or pay Netgear to help me re-configure the router.
