weierd limited acess to internet

[diogenese]

I've got a bit of a snag, the only web pages I can access are OcUK ones! forums and shop. I can't get anything else, not even my ISP (tiscali, eugh) or email

Tiscali clearly upgraded your service Either that or Spie's offering better kick back's.

OK jokes aside it sounds like a DNS issue or you are working offline. Are you connecting by modem or router ? What happens if you try and ping apple.com etc ?

I have a Dlink DSL504T modem/router which is showing;


Connection Status Connected
Upstream Rate (Kbps) 288
Downstream Rate (Kbps) 2304
US Margin 18
DS Margin 12
Modulation MMODE
LOS Errors 0
DS Line Attenuation 49
US Line Attenuation 63
Path Mode Interleaved

DSL Statistics
Near End F4 Loop Back Count 0
Near End F5 Loop Back Count 0

I have got the Tiscali home page half loaded once in the last ten minutes but OcUK is a fast as ever! I've tried rebooting the router and have changed nothing in the last few weeks

Try a ping/tracert on a well known site and then compare that to ocuk, the difference is where the poblem and i'm guessing i's a dns issue. I've checked Tiscali's status page and they have no issues for today only sunday.
