Richard Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 October 06, 2005 Photobucket Network Update If you didn't know, yesterday two Tier 1 providers got into a feud and cut off traffic to eachothers network. Read article here (unfortunately, no link was included.) Unfortunately Photobucket was one of the thousands of sites effected. We have talked with both Cogent and Level 3, but it doesn't look like it will be fixed anytime soon. Rather than sit back and wait for it to all get sorted out, we have taken some drastic steps to work towards our own resolution. - Overnighted some additional network equipment as of yesterday - Moved our dns over to Ultradns (which is used by amazon, myspace, etc) . This gives us some flexibility on how we handle traffic from the two networks. - Working frantically on bringing up another carrier so we can start pushing 'non-resolvable' traffic that direction. We believe this will solve many or all of the issues regardless of what happens with Cogent and Level 3. Thanks for understanding, Photobucket got the worst of a bad situation that is totally out of our control.
Yuna_Firerose Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 Alright, now here's where it gets confusing. Last night, it didn't work on this computer (the one I use at home). This morning, at college, it worked fine... at the least, images were loading from the site. Now I have the same problem with Yousendit... get a Cannot Find Server//DNSerror here, yet it worked fine at college. Why?
