I'm begining to wonder why this week has been so crappy lately. I got the internet bill sorted out finally and paid for, and today I get a bill from the student loan people. Um...'kay. I asked them to change my address and send me a form for a deferment since I'm unemployed right now, but looking for a job and planning to attend college next ( Read more... )

It royally sucks ass you can't view your own website. Did you piss somebody off at Viawest.net to block you?

No. I didn't know what Viawest was till tonight. My webhost is working on it with me now. He's smart, he'll figure it out :)

iRev has Viawest block ICMP "pings" at Viawest's border routers. Remember back when we moved to Viawest as a co-location and bandwidth provider? We moved because of ICMP flooding attacks. And as soon as we landed with Viawest, the attacks changed target and attacked again. So Viawest and iRev put up blocks so the abuse would stop.

If one wants to ping iRev, ping "irev.us": its open.

iRev hasn't had any downtime in 8 days, and the downtime 9 days ago was due to the MySQL upgrade issue.

Just tested lamianights.net from the old irev server in San Diego, servers in New York and Atlanta, and from my cable modem in Las Vegas. All pull up lamianights.net fine.

We're on AIM now, lets see what happens:

You can ping irev.us okay.

Huh. Since when does Win98 not have "nslookup"?

You can view the irev.us webpage okay

You can't view irev.net webpage (irev.net and irev.us are different IP addresses, one number apart)

iRev can not open www.ev1.net

My cable modem can open www.ev1.net

iRev can resolve the address of ev1.net

A traceroute ( ... )

*shuffles over and hugs Pres* Thankyou! I'll go call ev1 and rant gripe talk to them.

Also...I'm not a freak for still using Windows 98. :P

ok a) pres, i so know what your talking about after 3 days of cox trainingrefreshing my memory, lol

b) no, honey, your not a freak for using windows 98. windows 98 is a nice little operating system. Unless you have first edition, then you have the spawn of the spawn of satan (the spawn of satan being either mac os 7-9 or windows me) ;)

*hugs*

How did that get translated into "please send me the bill for the $2000+ I owe you...Um, I... work for a student loan servicing company *ducks flying otters*, so I can tell you that (where I work, anyway) those letters get sent out automatically when your account reaches a certain point. Also, I've noticed that it's sometimes necessary to ask more than once to have the deferment form sent out to you -- the employee turnover rate in that department is VERY HIGH (because hey, they enjoy getting bitched at all day long just about as much as the loan borrowers enjoy getting called about making payments), so sometimes they might forget to flag the account properly. For the most part, it's a good system, but when you're dealing with millions of students, there are bound to be glitches along the way. :/ Hopefully you'll get the deferment soon, but if not, be sure to call them back and ask them to send it again ( ... )
