Comcast Outages Continue → Think about tonight -- Tax Day Eve

Think about all the computer noobs getting on tonight for the first time all week to fire up TaxCut or TurboTax and do that quick little "I'll wait until the end of the week" e-File.

Holy christ -- just as long as their network stays up, I can manage MY DNS to do just that. But think about the noobs. The poor noobs who will not be able to file taxes and get audited by the IRS!

I was doing just that last night when the latest outage hit. Fortunately, reverting to the alternate DNS servers wasjust a few clicks away in my router, so I was back up within a minute or two. But there will be some who aren't so lucky.

Yet another reason to own a router.

But I have to ask. Doesn't this look like a DoS attack to anyone? I mean, we have an Australian ISP booting compromised computers because of possible attacks on their DNS servers, and we have a really strange DNS outage on an ISP known for its lax attitude on zombies.

I am in Alpharetta also, not a noob perse but not know how to managem my DNS...is there a good site to learn, I know their purpose just never config'd...thx
