.ve WHOIS Down?
by Crist Clark 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

For want of a better place to ask, I'm wondering if anyone monitoring this list might know what is up with the registro.nic.ve web site. The WHOIS at www.nic.ve refers to that site, and it appears to be down (for me and downforeveryoneorjustme.com too). Doing old fashioned native WHOIS isn't working any better.

It's over a vpn from Asia to US. I wouldn't worry about that 280ms latency. :) Kind regards, Mark On Feb 9, 2010, at 10:41 PM, Joachim Tingvold wrote: > On 9. feb. 2010, at 15.32, Mark wrote: >> Just wondering if anyone is experiencing the same problem with >> google and openDNS on their end or knows what's going on there with >> openDNS.

FW: Yahoo abuse
by Blake Pfankuch 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

It's almost as much fun as getting them to recognize that my home mail server is not a bulk sender, however even after filling out their form they still continue to block me. In all seriousness my only suggestion is to fill this form out repeatedly. My general experience is that they read 1 of 10 abuse reports... so... http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/abuse.html Also found they respond quicker (if at all) if you flag it as "illegal activity". Good luck! -----Original Message----- From: John Peach [mailto:john-nanog@johnpeach.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2010 5:55 AM To: nanog(a)nanog.org Subject: Yahoo abuse Does anyone know how to get Yahoo abuse to recognize that they're hosting a phishing site? All I can ever get back from them is boilerplate telling me they know how frustrating it is to get spam, that it did not originate from them and how to read the headers. Not half as frustrating as their ignorance. -- John

NorthStar IP Management System
by Hitesh Patel 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

Hello all, It has been a while since I posted anything to NANOG. A long time ago (in a galaxy far far away ;) ) I wrote and maintained a software package called NorthStar (http://www.brownkid.net/NorthStar) to administrate IP space and various other things. Life got busy and the project fell off my list of priorities. Long story short I am looking to see if anyone is still using NorthStar? Would people like to see development start up again? -- Hitesh Patel

Western Canada major outage last night?
by James Smallacombe 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

I rent a server with eSecureData in Vancouver. Their network became unreachable yesterday evening around 7:37 EST. They didn't come back online until about noon today, and have given this explanation on their voicemaik during the outage and via email afterward:: ---- STATUS REPORT There has been an unprecedented breakage in upstream fibre optic cables owned by Bell Canada that has caused a network interruption to all of Western Canada. We assure you that Bell has the full force of their network operations department on this issue, and we expect resolution of this issue shortly ---- I've not found any indication of this on bellcanada.ca or any news sites, and this list has been quiet on al things Canadian (I'm in PA, but my server's there). Can anyone verify or elaborate on this? Thanks, James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc. CEO and Janitor up(a)3.am http://3.am =========================================================================

Adopt‐an‐Haitian‐Internet‐technician‐or‐facility
by Eric Brunner-Williams 08 Feb '10

08 Feb '10

All, Attached is a project description by Reynold Guerrier, Network Engineer and Treasurer of the Association Haïtienne pour le développement des technologies de l’Information et de la Communication (AHTIC). I know many have helped and many have offered to help, and kit and people have been sent, and are continuing to be sent, however there is an unmet need, the continuation of the "fuel, food, families" trio that kept the Boutilliers NAP powered and its surviving technical team intact. And the most effective aid is cash, which enables the recipients to prioritize according to their needs, and the bulk purchases of aid recipients proximal to them. The budget and resources for this project is as follows: o $100,000 for  salaries  to  support  technicians  and  their  family  to  get  them  back on track  o 5  content  production  units  o Production  software  o Management  software   o 10  data  center  in  a  box  The data centers in a box resource was identified by Reynold on the 19th, a week after the quake, when he wrote to NANOG: > We would like to provide to the haitian government a UC systems with several branches: > > o President office: 10 endpoints > o Prime Minister office: 10 endpoints > o 12 mayor city hall offices: 3 for each: 36 endpoints > o Ministries (9 differents locations 3 for each): 27 endpoints > o Communications Center: 20 endpoints > o emergency Clusters: 14 ednpoints > > Total: 117 endpoints > > So if someone can provide recommendations, equipment, skilled technician for that it would be fine. There is wire transfer information in the attached pdf, and if anyone finds that cumbersome drop me a note and we'll work something out. Yes, there are a lot of aid dollars going to Haiti, but dollars given to AHTIC will go specifically to re-build the network infrastructure and keep the families of the surviving engineers and technicians fed and their basic needs met. Thanks in advance, Eric

Greetings, Hi, I have just recently returned to the United States from New Zealand. I have spent a bit of time down their working as a network designer for ALU and was a member of NZNOG.

I was wondering if their might be someone in the area that might be able to help me get my bearings and might be able to give some insight into the BMI project in the area offlist? Thanks for your time. -- James Jones +1-413-667-9199 james(a)freedomnet.co.nz
