Origin DNS Issues

[walkerx 10]

he had these same connection drops with BT at specific times, he was told to investigate it as it sounded more like it was localised.

 

Origin have offered him help, but has he contacted them? Probably not.....

1) Too many prissy people on this board.

 

2) And every time I have an issue with Origins equipment, I have to set the whole thing up from scratch again.

 

How counter intuitive is that, at least with BT equipment they are all preconfigured so you just need to plug them in and everything is set up, nothing gets lost even when you reset, even Sky's hub is like BT in that everything is preconfigured before you even get the product.

 

3) For anyone out there who is over a certain age, an elderly person in particular, stay away from Origin or any other company that expects you to have a degree in networking to just get equipment to work.

 

1) Only with certain people on here who won't listen to people they ask for help or don't even have the courtesy to come back and say those 2 little words you know the ones THANK YOU

 

2) Never had to reset the equipment even after having BT install a new socket (I hit it with a hammer don't ask) and everything was disconnected and turned off

 

3 I would like to bet I am a lot older than you as are 3 neighbours who set their equipment up

 

Only if you hit the reset button - the Zyxel modems come pre-configured from Thales, this means that when you hit the reset button then the default configuration is to Thales' wholesale RAS. This is the server section that then is supposed to route the connection forward to Origin's racks, so long as the router is configured correctly. The Zyxel *should* maintain it's settings so long as you're not resetting the router. If it doesn't then it'll probably be a firmware fault.

 

 

 

The only way to resolve that would be for a change to be made in the supply side of the router. As I said before, the router is supplied by Thales. If the router were supplied from Thales via Origin, it would increase delivery/storage costs to Origin who would in turn probably need to pass this cost on to the customer. In practice it appears that the majority of people, including yourself, can follow instructions to configure the router in order to at least initially get online. This is ultimately what is contractually obligated by the ISP and hence they are keeping up their end of the bargain.

 

 

 

Unix was first made in 1969 as a collaboration operating system in universities. A lot of the people who were around at that time saw the progression of the d/arpanet which ultimately became the internet. A lot of these people are now either retired or due to retire shortly so I think that you ageist analogy might fall quite a bit short. There are going to be plenty of people the world over who'd have networking experience/degrees.

 

That being said, networking isn't all that difficult. Lots of people have learnt a lot of networking analogy since the first broadband wave, and thus there are plenty of people who understand how it all works and how to fault find. You yourself might be frustrated that you're having problems, but you also were able to configure the router in order to get online.

 

If your router is dropping the connection at specific certain times of the day then as I have said before, you need to find out why it is at these specific times of the day. Origin may be able to help you with connection logs from their side if you ask them nicely.

 

see posts all over about it

Ah, damn football! It’s fascinating to think how different our perceptio of the Owl is. The old custom of nailing an Owl to a barn door to ward off evil, is this Old English tradition still alive to this day in certain areas of Sheffield?
