Interweb problems?
Anyone else having problems connecting to some interweb sites today? I can get to the smaller volume sites, but the busiers sites are all dead. It might be Comcast but I think it's the web.

All of my usual message boards I frequent on a daily basis are fine. FWIW, I have Verizon FiOS.

that's because comcast cache's a TON of websites, aka all of the heavily trafficked ones. When you go websites most of the time you aren't even truly going there. It's just commu-cast giving you info to cut down on their costs + bandwidth

Comcast is having a service issues in my area which is Essex Co. I'm sure it affects everyone with comcast. Weird that some sites work and others don't.
Weather channel, my real estate multiple listing site, comcast site all DOWN.
LS1.com, NJFBOA.org, Yahoo all good to go.

I was able to access Comcast.com and .net, along with weather.com with no troubles here, but I have Verizon interweb access. Still, what's up with Mapquest then?

No problems with the mapquest main page here, at what point are you having trouble? you could always use google maps

Sounds like they had a DNS failure.

As described to me the last time it happened, a the DNS servers basically point you to the sites. So when one goes down, all the roadmaps for the sites on those servers get lost. Think if your GPS went blank on way to somewhere you didnit know how to get to. I'm sure they are busting their humps on it.

the internet is just a bunch of addresses like house numbers and streets, the DNS is a master list that keeps track of what addresses belong to who at any given momment, when that goes down theres no more yellowbook, the computer looks for the company called yahoo, it has no reference for its address so it has no idea where to look and the web comes crashing down heh. they have a few servers, so a few road maps still exist, but its full of holes.
buuut it seems to be back up now as of 3:45pm so...

if the "DNS servers" went down (which there are 13 main ones btw..) they are each redundant and they would just point to each other in case of error. Whoever told you that was bull****ting you.

This was the response I got from a very trusted source the last time Comcast had a similar situation. I did not verify this one, but the user problems seemed similar.
> Comcast has two large DNS server clusters, on in Philadelphia and one in
> Denver. All Comcast subscribers use them. Half use PA as their primary and
> half use CO as their primary. The first half uses CO as their secondary and
> the second half uses PA as their secondary. Each site was supposed to be
> sized to be able to handle the entire contry by itself. Well, CO failed, and
> PA was not able to handle the resulting load.
>
> DNS stands for Domain Name Resolution. When you type a URL into your browser
> your PC sends a DNS lookup command on port 53 to the primary DNS server
> specified in your PC/s IP stack. If things are working the server runs the
> URL against its database and returns the IP of the hosting server to your PC
> and then you are able to connect to the site. If the primary lookup fails
> then your PC sends the same request to the secondary server specified in your
> PC's stack. If that request fails your page load fails and you can't surf
> even though you have a working connection to the net. That was the case with
> us on Thursday. If you knew the host IP for the site you wanted to get to you
> could have put that in the URL bar of your browser and gotten to the site OK.
>
> A total server DNS failure looks like a dead internet connection. If you are
> curious you can see your DNS entrys by typing "ipconfig -all" at a c prompt.
> (assumes windows os)
