Problem for Aussie gamers accessing ENworld

[IronWolf]

I just checked and the server cannot reach the 220.101.101.1 in Hong's traceroute post of the failed one. It also dies at the neotechus router.

I have taken Hong's traceroute and the one I did from the server and sent an email to the neotechus support explaining the issue and that we continue to see traffic dropped at their router. We'll see if I get anything back.

Note: It may be several days before I can check back - we are expecting another Ironpup anyday now....

Well, good luck with the new Ironpup.

Here's my traceroute again, just redone... no change from the first I posted way back when.

I have noticed that even though I now can get to EN World from my Optus dial-up at home, it still won't work from my parents' house. They have either Optus or Telstra broadband (it used to be Optus but I think that they just switched back to Telstra).

I imagine it is extremely frustrating for those that are still having problems. I know how it felt during the many long, frustrating months when I couldn't access EN World from home. I hope it gets fixed soon.

I'm back to having no access from home through Optus ADSL, unfortunately. This is really getting tiresome. Have we heard back from neotech yet?

No, I did not receive a reply to my email.

I just sent them another email - we will see if that gets me anywhere....

 

[IronWolf]

HHmmm, not a good sign. Their support email bounced!

Maybe everyone is away over Easter and so their mailbox has filled up? *tries to be hopeful* Maybe a phone call is in order, instead...

 

[Olaf the Stout]

I double-checked. It was Optus Broadband that I couldn't get to EN World on. Wierd that I can get through on dial-up but not broadband. It's not good news for me because we are looking at switching from dial-up to broadband at home in the near future.

You're in Adelaide, Olaf. Go with Internode! They topped the Whirlpool broadband survey results for the last 2 years running, IIRC.
