Livejournal and DNS

May 11, 2005 2:48 PM

Has anyone else here had trouble getting to Livejournal today?

I haven't been able to get to my journal since last night at 11:30 or so. Whenever I've logged onto the page, it takes a few minutes to "open" and then I get a DNS error. This has happened when I've gone straight to the main site, the maintenance site, and even SixApart. I've also had some problems getting to archive.org today. However, I can use the rest of the internets, no problem. Any explanation for this?

No service interuptions (my free account and the paid account of friends) for me.

Could it be a DNS update thing gone awry? You could contact your own ISP and ask them about it.

Agreed. I haven't had any problems getting to my, or my friends', accounts.

The LJ Status Page says things are fine. Then again... the MeFi status page hasn't been updated since Feb.

I haven't had any problems, either.

The LJ status page info is current... there aren't any known problems on the service. (And there weren't yesterday when you posted this.) I think it's probably a connection problem on your end.
