Helo Felix, If I were you I'd ask above.net for a _very detailed_ explanation that includes a statement of their management as well as a plan how to avoid such a situation in the future. Fell free to sue them for "stealing" your prefix and disturbing your connectivity. 20 hours of outage... Whoah.. expensive! Gunther

Pakistan's blackhole was semi-unintentional, kind of like you tried to shoot your spouse but the bullet went through the wall and "unintentionally" hit a neighbor. -- -Barry Shein The World | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 800-THE-WRLD | Login: Nationwide Software Tool & Die | Public Access Internet | SINCE 1989 *oo*
