Anyone else having problems with UTV DNS?
- Thread starter ClubMan
- Start date
Thank you for posting Clubman... I have been having serious BB access issues with UTV for the last 2 or 3 nights..... all was fine this evening but it ground to a halt after 9pm.
My emails are timing out & I can't access most web sites - no problem getting onto AAM all night though for what ever reason.
...an there was I ranting about how good the service was on other posts.

The only way I'm on now is because I can connect through the job's VPN because the VPN client uses a hard IP address. Once I'm on I have DNS through the VPN which is a lot better than trying to find hard IP addresses for web servers and other resources. I've logged a tech support request asking UTV what the story is. This is only about the second or third time that I've had this sort of problem with UTV in about two years but it's annoying all the same.
This is what my DSL router log reports:

.... I am not on a VPN but even when I am I still have the same problem anyways.
I couldn't get access to UTV to log a problem.
as I mentioned though I had this problem for sure late last night & again late some other night during the week.

Don't mind me - I'm just rambling...
If you connect to that should get you to UTV and you should be able to log a tech support issue. Perhaps the more UTV customers affected by connectivity problems who do this the better?
Update: oops - the link doesn't work unfortunately...

Have a request for non UTV users..... could you kindly log goto http://u.tv/support/status/ & see if they have posted anything about service disruption... there's a couple of us flying blind here at the moment. Thanks

Trouble again today the utv dns servers. I have just written them a strongly worded email complaining to them.
But in the meantime, could someone ping http://u.tv/ and post the IP address please
thanks

I managed to sort this out by changing by DNS server on my router. I am now using OpenDNS.
If anyone else is having the same problem ( and also managed to get on here by using the IP address, there are instructions of how to set this up ( for numerous routers and OS's]) here:

Couldn't connect on Saturday between 9 and 11 am and this morning no joy between 8 and 9 am. I have been trying their Technical Support no. on 1890 926 111 since 9 am and it's still engaged :mad:. I have had hardly any probs. with UTV bb since I joined in June '04 - hope these probs. are resolved very quickly.

My UTV BB service was down yesterday evening.
Went off and did housework instead rather than curling up in a corner and shivering from internet withdrawal symptoms.

Interestingly, this was one of the few times over the weekend when I COULD connect. It might be useful to see if UTV users were off at the same time. We couldn't connect on Friday evening (after around 9pm), Saturday morning fine, Saturday afternoon it was gone for the rest of the day, Sunday morning fine and then gone for the rest of Sunday.
(btw, don't usuually spend my entire weekend on the web, but was checking intermittently for service
)Actually it would - if (as mentioned above by Blinder) you change the DSL router from dynamic to static non UTV DNS - not the PC itself. Never thought of that!
Thanks for the OpenDNS tip Blinder!
