I have been having problems getting to (and keeping connections with) certain Exodus clients, such as HotBot and GeoCities. Anyone else noticed this?
When did nanog@merit.edu become the Exodus NCC? Come on folks, there has been too much of this crap lately.
OK, so now even network problem assessments have been chided as being "off topic".
Considering that his problems were isolated to Exodus clients, yes, it's off-topic. Small network outages happen every day, and I don't think we need to hear about them all. IMHO, what DOES belong on this list are discussions of network design, router configuration, LARGE SCALE outages, emerging Internet technologies, and general knowledge-sharing of how to build better networks. It's not a mailing list for end users to say "I can't reach www.something.com, but before I report it to my ISP or to the far-end ISP I wanted to see if anyone else sees my problem." If that is what the list continues to turn into, I for one will be unsubscribing, because that is useless to me. -Jon ----------------------------------------------------------------- * Jon Green * "Life's a dance * * jcgreen@netins.net * you learn as you go" * * Finger for Geek Code/PGP * * * #include "std_disclaimer.h" * http://www.quadrunner.com/~jon * -------------------------------------------------------------------------
