Nothing To Loose?

...except the internet of course!

It seems NTL have been having a bit of trouble this evening after 'a major server outage' occurred... Sis asked me to try to fix the computer at home remotely after it wouldn't let her check her email - I jumped to the rescue but couldn't determine the problem... I could connect to the computer, but it couldn't connect to anything else...

After about an hour I discovered other people on NTL were having the same problem and a quick check of their status page revealed the true horror of the situation - their DNS server was completely dead, meaning no access to any website or mail servers...

Shame I wasted over an hour of work time trying to fix a problem that wasn't there anyway :-(
