    Bigpond is having issues

    Nothing unusual I know, but thought I'd post it here so I could share the joy

    Every address I looked up in DNS returned a 192.18.1.x number.

    I'm guessing it's DNS has been hacked or it's just been buggered completely. I imagine it'll take a while to sort out too.

    Oh well, doesn't worry me I'm on Optus...

    no doubt it will cascade as cached data expires if it is their servers

    This is a copy 'N paste from the dos box I has on a BigPond connection at work:


    C:\Documents and Settings\Redcliffe IT>nslookup www . bigpond . com
    Server: BigPond.BigPond
    Address: 10.0.0.138

    Name: www . bigpond . com
    Address: 198.18.1.16


    C:\Documents and Settings\Redcliffe IT>nslookup www . bigpond . com . au
    Server: BigPond.BigPond
    Address: 10.0.0.138

    Name: www . bigpond . com . au
    Address: 198.18.1.17


    C:\Documents and Settings\Redcliffe IT>nslookup www . telstra . com
    Server: BigPond.BigPond
    Address: 10.0.0.138

    Name: www . telstra . com
    Address: 198.18.1.18


    C:\Documents and Settings\Redcliffe IT>nslookup www . telstra . com . au
    Server: BigPond.BigPond
    Address: 10.0.0.138

    Name: www . telstra . com . au
    Address: 198.18.1.15


    C:\Documents and Settings\Redcliffe IT>nslookup www . theregister . co . uk
    Server: BigPond.BigPond
    Address: 10.0.0.138

    Name: www . theregister . co . uk
    Address: 198.18.1.19


    Maybe it's only the 1 DNS server, dunno.

    First noticed it when one of our "special staff" called because their webmail wasn't working ("special staff" only have Bigpond at home to read email). That's why I'm sure it's not just our ADSL line we have here in the office.

    No likely I'm not using Optus at work, just saying that when I get home I'll be fine
