hi guys

this is a bit of an odd one, and is probably completely coincidental.

Anyway, since i've tried to install the latest patch for bf3, it failed a couple of times and now won't patch, it'll just 'prepare' the download and not go any further.

Since all that happened yesterday afternoon, i can't access battlelog, hotmail or bbc sport.

on is it down for everyone or just me, it shows those sites as being fine, but when accessing battlelog for example, it shows it stuck connecting to battlelog-cdn.battlefield.com, so checking that says it's down :confused:

on all 3 main sites i mention above, they're apparently fine, apart from one component that seems absolutely necessary to them running!

i use open dns, and i've made sure that is working fine and not blocking stuff, i've cleared browser caches, reset my router/modem, and checked this issue on my pc, server and macbook pro - i get the same situation on all.

anyone have any idea what's up? according to BT there isn't any issues in my area so i'm at a complete loss..
 
panic over!

as a little test, i put one of my machines on google dns, everything opened as it should do on that machine.

tested another machine still on open dns, and guess what - working again!

i have no idea what it was doing what, but just changing that 1 pc to google seems to have solved it...
