                         Major network suckage today.

Major network suckage today. At around 3:00 am this morning the network at
Condo Conner dropped. All attempts to get out didn't get past the DSL
(Digital Subscriber Line) unit and a trace from outside (fortunately my
roommate [1] works at night as a system administrator) showed that traffic to
Condo Conner was not getting past a router in Miami.

Fast foward to noon today. Can't traceroute to my colocated server. Can't
ping it. Yet Spring [2] can get her mail. Uh oh. A quick telnet to port 80
and yes, I can bring up a web page.

Great!

Poking around I'm seeing major network problems with my provider. Inside, I
can ping some sites, other's I can't. Some sites I can traceroute to, others
I can't. One moment I can ping but can't telnet. Then I can telnet. From
outside again, it's hit or miss if I can ping or traceroute back to Condo
Conner.

Most things are working and that's what makes this more annoying that if it
was all down. I'll be going along and wham! can't get there.

Sigh.
