Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 1,177 | For a couple of days, a small subset of those of you who access the Stovebolt Site have been unable to get to the website. (The only people affected were those whose IP address began with "66." Fortunately, this included me, so the problem was obvious.  ) The problem has now been resolved. Since it's quite technical, I won't go into the cause here, but suffice it to say, it was very weird, I have no idea how it happened, and I'll be watching closely for it in the future.) | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | Thanks for keeping an eye out for us Paul. It's good to know someone is watching.

Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 1,177 | Seriously? Somehow the routing table had an extra route - 66 - added. This prevented all traffic from/to hosts whose IP addresses began with 66., but I have no idea what added the route or why it was added. It apparently happened the other day.
What's more, I couldn't delete the route no matter what I tried, so I ended up having to reboot the server to get rid of it.
This is the first time that I've had to use the DRAC card to avoid having to drive to Bedford to fix a problem, so it was very nice to have that functionality. | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 1,159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 1,159 | Wow, that was cool that the DRAC card worked. Happy happy.

Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 1,177 | At least the next time (if there is a next time), I'll catch this much sooner. It was a really weird problem that I've never seen before, and I have seen some weird ones. :rolleyes: | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 62 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 62 | THANK YOU why do I always think its my computer that is causing the problems.

I don't remember that I ever figured out exactly how it had happened.
It could have been Chris the Unix admin I was working with at the time. But far as I know he has no reason not to like you...

Close friend and fellow Bolter "TRyan" could get on but I could not so we thought it was my computer. That would have resulted in a fruitless trip and expense to a computer repair shop so thanks again.

I didn't have a problem but I can understand how you guys felt. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 1,177 Red dot, center of chest ... | | Red dot, center of chest ... Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 1,177 | OK, I can see a problem that needs to be rectified. From now on, when you bolters find you can't get on the site for more than 24 hours, please email me at geek@stovebolt.com. If I get more than one, I'm going to immediately suspect a problem and start looking for the cause. And if it's just your computer, maybe I can help solve the problem. So don't wait a week, OK? Email me. | | |
