Grex Info Item 360: Lynx lockup
Entered by wlevak on Thu Apr 22 12:14:42 UTC 2004:

Lynx is not finding external links - for the third time in a week.  It just
says "looking up..." and locks up.  I have sent messages to help, but no on
e answers.  What's going on??

Grex has been having net access problems for a couple weeks.  It is apparently
not Grex equipment that causes the problem, but somewhere further away.  

For example I can dial in and find Grex functioning even when I cannot telnet
or ssh in from another server.  

Your problem is the reverse, but seems related.

Right.  Same problem -- network connection is down -- but a person
who dials in would see it as an inability to connect to anything
else *from* Grex rather than an inability to connect *to* Grex.

Staff is working on the problem; not sure how close the solution is.

In the agora "grex problems" item is was reported that the DSL modem had been
"kicked", thereby restoring net connectivity.

Well, it's apparently out again.

If you "join agora" you will be reading the conference on Grex that usually
has system problems information posted.

This is the conference that is advertised as having system information.

The "help conferences" command says that it's for "information about
Picospan and Unix", which is a little vague, but I think that the
intent is that it's for information about how to use the system more
than current system status.  In any case, it might not be a bad idea
to link the Agora "system problems" item here.

remmers, there is no fw right now.  would you be it?

#9 of 10 by remmers on Tue Apr 27 14:49:14 2004:

Actually, bhoward is the current fw.
