Connection, but naught else.

[swestrup]

It looks like Wiznet, my ISP is down. I can't pop my email, and I can't reach their web page. BUT my DSL link through them is still up and functioning, or else I couldn't post this. WTF?

Hmm. The technical help line just gets a busy signal, so I imagine that everyone and their dog is phoneing to ask whats up. Now, I wonder if there's any info on the website of the folks that bought them out... What where they called again?

Well, I just called Tech support at Magma.ca, but (despite what it said in the email I got from them a few weeks ago) they don't know anything about wiznet, and don't even have a number to phone to find out.

In the meantime I've redirected all my mail to my own pop account, so I'll get any mail sent to me now, although I will also have to wade through spam because my spam filter is dead and I never bothered to fix it. *Sigh*

Internet connection works fine here.... For the rest, I don't know, I don't use anything else. Since http://wiznet.ca give a "connection refused", I suspect they have some server outage.

Looks like one of their own routers might be misbehaving:
