problems connecting to the website
Hey All. I have been having a lot of trouble connecting to the Wlug website recently. It's been at least a week, mayeb two since I remember being able to connect. I'm having the same problems from the Office and at home. I tried it from Olivers place last night and he also couldn't connect. Oliver has a different ISP. As I'm in Melbourne all of these attempts would probably use the same link to reach to New Zealand. All of these attempts where using Firefox. I have now attempted to view the site from a couple of US based machines using lynxs and from home using links and have had better success, although not what I expected. One of the US machines complained initially with [socket failed: family 10 addr 2002:d237:12fa::1 port 80.] this is probably due to having a badly setup ipv6 config. It then falls back to using ipv4 and works, but at bytes per second, 100 *bytes* per second. Which is very very slow. I see the same speed from the other machines, no ipv6 error tho. Has there been any changes made tot he server config in the last month? I know that another wlug list member was having trouble connecting earlier in the year which I think was resolved once their ISP fixed up some routing issue. I no longer have any NZ based shell accounts so I can't do any further testing, I assume it's ok inside NZ otherwise someone would have mentioned something earlier. Does anyone have any suggestions for diagnosing connectivity issues like these? I guess a step by step process for diagnosing such things would make a good page for the Wiki. Raymond

The company that sponsors hoiho recently moved to new premises (with a new Internet connection from Telecom rather than TelstraClear). There seem to have been some connectivity issues to various parts of the Internet since then. Adding to the problem is that hoiho is currently ratelimited to 1kB/s for all international traffic as it was consuming too much bandwidth. Hoiho does about 13GB of traffic a month. So yes, access to hoiho from international locations does suck at the moment, sorry :( We are in the process of finding some alternative hosting for hoiho and hopefully this will be up and running in the next week.

Howdy.

Pah. Tiny. pong.deeperdesign.com has a data cap of 2000GB a month . Yes two terabytes. + $1 per GB after that.

Would you like a mirror for international users? I'm cool with setting that up. Though I'm not sure how a Wiki can be mirrored seeing as it is a read/write site.
