+DomHeknows Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 looks like all the Groundspeak servers were down for most of the day (here in the uk). Any news as to why? Link to comment
Keystone Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Since both the forums and the website were affected, my guess is that the cause is the same firewall issue as described a few days ago by Jeremy in this post. It looks like things ground to a halt in the middle of the night, Groundspeak time, and everything was restarted shortly after the beginning of the workday, Groundspeak time. Link to comment
+Prof_Fate Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I am new here - got my GPS on saturday and the site was down sunday at some point (or was it monday?....kids and work melts minds) and again today...frustrating and discouraging. Link to comment
+Mxyzptlk Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Interesting... I couldn't get to any system hosted by 'killerlink'... including their DNS servers that list geocaching.com's ip address. Link to comment
+RatFace Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I am new also, but unlike Jill****, I haven't received my GPS yet. It's been shipped. But I am used to servers going down time to time. I just check my other favorites to make sure it's not my PC. Welcome Jill**** and I will race you to the first find! Link to comment
+DomHeknows Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 not a very good firewall if it falls over and dies like that! Funnily enough I just tried to get into here and got "too many connections" in an ugly error message which gives a bit too much away about the configuration of the server! Link to comment

Don't be too discouraged. It's never happened before that I know of. Link to comment
