i'm trying to slowly transition the database away from the backup server we've been running on for the past month or so. the forum database has been moved. price search and review database will be moved over the weekend if there's no major meltdowns. then we'll be switching service providers later in the month. lots of fun.
It is horrible here Drew. I keep getting a server not found message.
With ping to www.adultdvdtalk.com [63.116.134.189] it varies from 126 seconds to 'request timed out'. If it helps, I'm located in Oregon and have a broadband connection.
It's getting worse as time goes on. About one out of four tries works. The rest get the server not found error. ADT e-mail is completely gone for me by the way [12.149.239.106]. I'm sure you don't want to hear that either. Sorry. Due to the problems I'm logging off for a while. If you have any questions for me you can reach me at my real e-mail address. Steph has it.
The ADT email server was restarting within the past 10 minutes. It's up now.
After some quick research I think I know what's going on. We're in the midst of a switch from AT&T to UUNet as our service provider. That's why there's two different IP ranges coming up. I just started switching the sites over to the new IP range last night. Email, IRC and some other stuff hasn't been switched yet.
It looks like the IP range assigned to me by UUnet was in use by another company. At least traceroutes come up with a different company's name for the Ethernet IP on the router here. I suspect that the routing tables scattered throughout the internet need to update or something. Some ISPs may be affected others appear to be OK. When I access the site at it's new IP from the old circuit it responds very quickly. Average ping times from the AT&T circuit to UUNet are 20 ms.
Hey guys can you all goto the command prompt and execute this command
c:> tracert www.adultdvdtalk.com
and paste the output here. You'll see at which place the slowdown begins..

Not that I care about anyone knowing where I am geographically as most people who have been here over two years know that however I'm not sure I want all my ISP info all over. Drew I e-mailed it to you. Thanks Saki.
My location is already listed to the left and I don't mind people knowing I use the best ISP in my country , so here is my traceroute: traceroute to www.adultdvdtalk.com (12.149.239.62), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 195.190.249.2 7.553 ms 7.815 ms 15.451 ms 2 42.ge-1-0-1.xr2.d12.xs4all.net (194.109.5.189) 13.492 ms 9.275 ms 9.834 ms 3 0.so-3-3-0.xr1.sara.xs4all.net (194.109.5.106) 11.240 ms 10.911 ms 10.316 ms 4 ge-3-1-0.nar1.AMS1.gblx.net (208.49.125.141) 11.482 ms 11.606 ms 12.109 ms 5 so6-0-0-2488M.ar1.NYC1.gblx.net (67.17.64.154) 90.693 ms 91.750 ms 92.699 ms 6 208.51.134.6 88.711 ms 89.427 ms 89.663 ms 7 tbr2-p012202.n54ny.ip.att.net (12.123.1.126) 88.804 ms 89.045 ms 89.326 ms 8 tbr1-cl1.cb1ma.ip.att.net (12.122.10.21) 94.402 ms 95.254 ms 97.167 ms 9 gbr2-p40.cb1ma.ip.att.net (12.122.11.198) 95.556 ms 94.805 ms 94.753 ms 10 ar1-p3110.ptdme.ip.att.net (12.123.202.69) 96.507 ms 96.418 ms 96.457 ms 11 12.119.184.226 107.795 ms 107.210 ms 139.769 ms 12 www.adultdvdtalk.com (12.149.239.62) 114.124 ms 113.211 ms 111.484 ms
Funny thing is that I did it a few times and one of the five timed out.
Hopefully things are better today with the website. I know the chat server is all messed up. I'm working on that.
I think I have the problem isolated to the router we're using on the new circuit. I'm going to swap routers tonight sometime. The router is dropping an average of 1.6% of the packets it's sending out.

I'll be taking everything down tonight while swapping the routers. I expect the site to be down for about 30 - 45 minutes starting around midnight EST.

Is this thing related to the fact that I can't upload any pictures to the ADT serverspace that Drew and Steph have set up for me? Whenever I try to connect to it through my FTP client, I can't get a connection and after awhile I just get a timed out connection message.
Edited: The forum and the e-mail server work fine for me.

Walter, yes, the conversion is the reason why you can't connect via FTP. Just use the new IP address of 63.116.134.212 instead of forum.adultdvdtalk.com in your FTP client program. You should be able to connect using the IP.
