Pacific Northwest downtime?

Hey guys,

Anybody else in the Pacific Northwest notice some sites down? I'm using
Comcast here at home, and I can't reach anything over at Hurricane Electric.
I can confirm that HE is reachable from the University of Washington.

Thanks,

Never mind, back up! Apparently there was a problem at Comcast.

Yeah, I saw it too. My traceroute was dying at an IP belonging to Global Crossing and the DNS looked like it was at 11 Great Oaks. I called Comcast to report it, but they just kept saying I should reboot my modem.

We contacted GBLX and the issue was resolved shortly thereafter. Last time this happened one of their internal routers hung and someone kicked it. No idea if this was the same type of issue.

In this case, more that just traffic between us and Comcast was affected, at least according to a friend of mine who's on Comcast.

Did you wait 30 seconds before you plugged it back in?

Yeah, things were wonky for a while. Like the application for programming my Harmony One couldn't contact Logitech's servers. But since my mail server is at he.net that was the big thing I noticed. :slight_smile:

But of course, step one, reboot my modem...*sigh*

There are definite reports that it affected connectivity to some
portions of Yahoo
for some comcast users in the Bay Area as well.

Just got confirmation from GBLX... Router seized. Perhaps some WD-40 is in order?

No caffeine yet. Did you mean "router froze up", or "router taken into
possession by creditors and/or law enforcement officials"? :wink:
