Hi!

Recently, I've had many (around 50%) of my connections to Demon 'dead'.
What happens is that I connect fine, but whenever I try to resolve
anything, I get no response whatsoever. The data /is/ being sent through
the modem, but I'm not getting a reply from the nameservers.

Anyone else suffered this recently?

Using:
  ANT InetSuite
  RED ROMP

All the best,

        Marc Warne

Once, but then I'm using the beta-test number. There was a nasty network
problem recently I think, not sure when though. Have you been sending fault
reports to dialup-faults@demon.net ? Have you checked status@gate.demon.co.uk
(or status@158.152.1.65 [I think] if there's no DNS) at the time to see if
there are any problems being experienced ?

Have you tried the Green or Purple ROMPs ? (2120666 & 2121666 respectively ?)

(P.S. dialup-faults rarely seem to reply to fault reports, but I am reliably
informed that they do read everything sent to them)

BFN !

I get this with Freenet if anything tries too quickly to use
a Demon name server immediatley after login.

In my case I tried putting NewsHound in my startup script and the connection
_always_ failed.

If I wait and manually start it ,no problem . 

Tests using a PC and Netscape4.5 also run into the same problem, if
you attempt to fetch a web page and _then_ make the connection to Demon, 
the connection often fails.
