Germany to Sl or not to Sl

Hello I live in Dresden as most of you know we cant log in right now DNS HOST problem.
If you have had problems with logging or crashing ,Lag,packet loss or any thing in the last couple of months then please download this program WinMTR its a ping tracer install program type this in the host name

data.agni.lindenlab.com

and push start if the second line of host has 100% packet loss please let me know if you have the same problem. Lindens say it has to do with our internet provider T-Com.

See /111/ff/201390/1.html

and JIRA WEB-257
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/WEB-257


If anyone has Linden Phone support, try to get them to get a network tech ping you back or to look at WEB-257 immediately (while the problem persists).

i got the same answer for my support ticket. its nothing but a lame excuse. atm i am in contact with people from other providers and also from austria. all have the same problem and also some crashes without dns messages. in german forum someone called the telekom and the lady there told her shes the first one complaining about a problem like this.

FIRST one? Rubbish. I already called bloody Telekom four times, always the same stupid excuses-some don't even know what a DNS server IS.
I had that months ago with other pages not loading and it took ages for the Telekom to actually tell me that yes, they have a problem...somewhere...but it would be too technical for me to understand. I had the login crash without saying its a DNS error too, but in the end it actually WAS a DNS error-when I use Nicholaz' browser, it gives the correct error message.

Why couldnt you just open a command prompt, type in "tracert" and then lindenlab address?

Try the utility and you'll know why...it has some more options and besides just keeps pinging away until you stop it, so you're able to watch what's happening for a while instead of doing a tracert again and again.

Really? Might take a look at it.

You probably won't believe it, but it was recommended by the Lindens on Live Chat...

... and in answer to a support ticket ...

Yeah, part of a long back and forth sending of messages (20 all in all...)

HEH! It's not bad! Pretty cool actually.

Best of all- Free!

Told you. Its pretty good to watch for trends or such things because it just runs on and on....

I live in Aachen and dont have any problems like that *scratches head*
Hope you get it solved soon *eyelashes at Abraham

Oh, right now it's working fine....

Some 2 years ago, Tiscali introduced a 'translator server' which apparently uses recomplied coding for DNS addresses throughout Europe, the 'idea' was that they could squeeze more DNS addresses out of the system and increase throughput. The whole excercise was a joke, big packet loss, timeout latency as these 'codex' reinterpreted every DNS through the system, which caused huge problems. It took me several months to get Tiscali to uncouple my BT line at the exchange so I go with a different provider.

What is happening now through Europe, is interleaving your broadband connections, effectively increasing the contention ratios for your shared access. They do this to increase customer base and to try and catchup with the access race. Many countires enjoy 10-100mbps connections, mainly because they use fibre optic connections, European providers will not spend the money upgrading existing infrasctructure, only new installations. Anyone on an old system, is simply lumped together with interleaving putting contention ratios into the 1,000's over a bigger pipeline. Capping is also another mostly 'hidden' feature of our new connection speeds, it's done transparently and is usually hidden within the small print about 'reasonable use' even on 'Unmetered/Unlimited' connections.
