Weird

Ok, all of this morning I could not get on here, A/F, rcthost's main site and as well as ibforums server and probably more. I could not even resolve it. It's still "down". Turns out it's DNS issues at my end, since I could not resolve and also I'm using a proxy now and I can get on fine. So I probably won't be around much today, I'll see if I can get this settled. I might set up a temporarly DNS server using the other PC or I might just tough it and stick with the proxy. It's actually quite fast anyway.

Hmm... That is odd.

I hope everything straightens out.

Yeah. Still using the proxy. I can now get it resolved, but I get TLL transit expired errors when I ping. I also did a tracert and it stopped at some router, but I think it's because it's limited to 30 hops, but I always had it go to rcthost before.

It's only doing it to rcthost servers (their home page, AF and here) and as well as ibforums.com. I just posted at a networking forum, hopefully someone will know what that error means.

I also suspect that someone hacked into my router to use the DHCP server to get an IP so they can spoof themselves, but I can't see how that's possible to do. But there was a bunch of weird entries. One IP resolved to some weird phrase with .com, another IP I traced to germany, and another somewhere in the US, past new york. Quite weird, anyway.

They fixed it! It was a Bellnexxia router in new york looping continuously.
