Topic: 'SG5 Server Status, up or down...

[Dizzy]

So the problem this whole time has been 'MCI FLapping'?

 

And I thought the DB was f*cked! ahahahahaha

If THAT is the problem, then what we need to do is move the machine to a different host or shelve SGO5 till the connectivity issues are fixed.

[Capt_Bearslayer_XC]

Well, that means you need to get in the F-CF and let DH have the F-DNL for a bit.

B/c he can't draft when he hosts....

Unless he has fixed that issue....

[Hexx]

So we won't let him play,
he'll be watching movies anyway, just keep him there to reboot
as needed.

Hey, that's my job.  I'm supposed to draft DH and then we go beat up  Dizzy and Agave, and then they go boom.

Ooops!!  Wrong dyna.

You know, I REALLY WISH people would USE the numbers I provide them before trying to hypothesize.

Let me clear a couple things up:

1. IN NO WAY, CAN YOU DIG IT, DOES THE BANDWIDTH LIMITATIONS I HAVE effect any of the services. Currently, the Firewall will cap @ 3 Mb...that's two T1 connections. If you really think we've hit that much bandwidth, well, heh, no.

2. TEAMSPEAK is running on a DIFFERENT BOX than THOR. THOR is a DEDICATED CAMPAIGN SERVER. The two don't affect each other in any way.

3. The issue was with MCI , YES THAT'S RIGHT, MCI, not THOR, not the Serverkit, not Teamspeak....

Before you people go off hypothesizing please go to the source. I've published my phone number, but didn't receive a single call this weekend. If anyone wants a technical detail of what happened, then just PM me.

From the looks of it, MCI has their shizit straightened out. We are 100%. If you still want to move the serverkit, that's fine.


P.S. Yes, I am frustrated, but more so with MCI than anyone here. I apologize for the difficulties.

[Capt_Bearslayer_XC]

So when is the server starting back up?

[Hexx]

Thanks for the heads up Frey!

and uhmm.. sorry I didn't call you over the weekend...

[Dizzy]

P.S. Yes, I am frustrated, but more so with MCI than anyone here. I apologize for the difficulties.

Apology accepted, we know its not your fault bout MCI, as such no apology needed... Lesson learned, pick up the phone and call Frey.   We could have nipped in the butt all the speculation about what was going on had we called you. Apparently you wernt aware of the problems we were having and we obviously cant expect you to keep up with all the threads on the forums... So I will surely call next time we start going into two+ days of shizit.

Game on! Ummm... Bonk, what say we go back to the DB we had yesterday when you got there and backed it up?

[FA Frey XC]

Okay, but if MCI decides to shizit all over themselves again....just don't blame me or my servers.

Yea, I had internet issues from Comcast from about Sat on up til present ... they got a tech scheduled for tomorrow...which is why I gave you guys and gals my cell and home phone.

I'm kinda peculiar about that....

<looks sheepish> Sorry dude. I thought the bandwidth limitations applied to the xenocorp servers altogether, not individually. I'll call before I theorise publicly. Again, my apologies.

We luv ya, Frey!
It's all good man...No one blamed you.
I think it was all just a bunch of "shooting in the dark" kinda thing because no one could figure it out. 

[Bonk]

So the possibilites are:

1) To move the server to DH's box tonight to eliminate connection as the issue and we'll know pretty quickly if its the db thats bejiggered.

2) Put current db back in and let er rip on thor.

3) Leave it as it to determine if connection issues with MCI have stopped.

What's yer call Dizzy?

[Capt_Bearslayer_XC]

Ummm....  Frey said that they are 100% right now....

I would vote to give Frey's connection another chance... 

[Bonk]

From an MSN converstation I had with Frey a bit ago...

Bearslayer says:
have you been able to help Bonk tract down any of the server issues we have been having?
FA_Frey_XC says:
It's nothing to do with the server
FA_Frey_XC says:
It's been our connection
FA_Frey_XC says:
I keep telling people that
Bearslayer says:
'our' connection?
FA_Frey_XC says:
Work connection
FA_Frey_XC says:
Up here at the office
Bearslayer says:
ah, ok... so basicly, your work is having connectivity issues and when a bunch of d2ers get on it amplifies the problem
FA_Frey_XC says:
No
FA_Frey_XC says:
It doesn't matter who gets on
FA_Frey_XC says:
It had absolutely nothing to do with anyone connecting
FA_Frey_XC says:
It was a BGP routing issue that resulted from MCI's "flapping"
FA_Frey_XC says:
Which was causing routing tables to be re-written
FA_Frey_XC says:
thus, some could connect
FA_Frey_XC says:
while others couldn't
FA_Frey_XC says:
then they could
Bearslayer says:
ah... ok.  Have you posted to that effect on the thread they got going?
FA_Frey_XC says:
but mission matching wouldn't work because once the serverkit matches peeps inna mission
FA_Frey_XC says:
No, I haven't had time
FA_Frey_XC says:
I'll try to tonight
FA_Frey_XC says:
But my home connect has been flakey for the last day and a half 2
FA_Frey_XC says:
When it rains, it pours eh ?
Bearslayer says:
Can I cut and paste what you just told me?
FA_Frey_XC says:
Sure, no one will understand it anywho
FA_Frey_XC says:
I'll make a post there in about an hour
Bearslayer says:
Well, it might help....
FA_Frey_XC says:
Help what ?
Bearslayer says:
b/c they will have a sense of what is going on and stop pulling their hair out over something they have no control over
FA_Frey_XC says:
Who's pulling their hair out ?
Bearslayer says:
Bonk and Dizzy
FA_Frey_XC says:
If anyone had half a clue, then they'd know it's got nothing to do with the serverkit
FA_Frey_XC says:
The serverkit isn't crashing
FA_Frey_XC says:
has it been crashing ?
Bearslayer says:
Well, that is the primary suspect right now
FA_Frey_XC says:
Because if so then that's a different issue
Bearslayer says:
That and using D.net TS at the same time as the server
FA_Frey_XC says:
??
FA_Frey_XC says:
Those are on two seperate servers
FA_Frey_XC says:
LOL
Bearslayer says:
There is a 'test' server up right now to see what is going on
FA_Frey_XC says:
Did someone actually think that could cause a problem ?
Bearslayer says:

FA_Frey_XC says:
"Test" what, did they move it off THOR ?
Bearslayer says:
IE You really need to chime in...

We knew the serverkit was not crashing. I have 3/4 of a clue OK?

As acting Alliance RM (and therefore kinda Dizzy's boss) I'd second it.
Try it on Thor . (and advance the year to 75 for lost time)

[FA Frey XC]

Aww guys, it's no big deal

I appreciate your show of support, but I want this campaign to run its course....

We knew the serverkit was not crashing. I have 3/4 of a clue OK?    

Bonk, please accept my public apology, I didn't mean it like this.

I was really more upset at MCI and no one giving me a ring-a-ding, it came out wrong, and again - I apologize and Bonkster, let me tell you, I think you have much more than a clue......

So, whatever you guys decide, if you want to move it just in case, I'm cool with that.

I can't be responsible for MCI, but I can make sure you guys understand I won't take it personal if you decide to move it over to another box..

just in case.



Regards,

Frey

[Bonk]

That's perfectly OK, Frey. Apology accepted. You're entitled to kick me around somewhat considering some of the headaches I've given you over the years...     Anyway, I know you didn't mean it like that, I understand your frustration completely.

Ummm....  Frey said that they are 100% right now....

Roger, we're back up on the db saved at 7:14 CST this morning, still on Thor. So get busy! 

[Capt_Bearslayer_XC]

SWEET!!!!

Umm... you need to let Frey know where the back up copy is....
