Is anyone else experiencing problems connecting to BBC websites, specifically http://news.bbc.co.uk and http://www.bbc.co.uk? I haven’t been able to access the BBC news website for several days. Tracert shows that the domain names are resolved properly but requests start to time out after hitting a server in the DTAG.DE domain.
There’s nothing wrong with the BBC website.
Hint: Try altering your DNS server address to a public server.
I can get to the bbc news website just fine, from the US.
Althought I doubt you use the same ISP as me, Rogers, if it’s just a handful of select sites you can’t resolve, I would try changing your DNS. Try using 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2, which are open Verizon DNSs.
Thanks guys. Using the Verizon public DNS servers solved the problem. Not sure what the problem was with my own ISP’s (telus.net) DNS.
