Streamyx Users - Can You Open Wikipedia?

Erghhh, Hafiz aka Mypapit & I noticed that Streamyx IP's are unable to access Wikipedia website at present. First, I suspect there is problem with DNS server. After querying, it seems my hypothesis is wrong :D

[root@kuli ~]# host en.wikipedia.org
en.wikipedia.org is an alias for rr.wikimedia.org.
rr.wikimedia.org is an alias for rr.yaseo.wikimedia.org.
rr.yaseo.wikimedia.org has address 211.115.107.162
[root@kuli ~]# host en.wikipedia.org 202.188.1.5
Using domain server:
Name: 202.188.1.5
Address: 202.188.1.5#53
Aliases:

en.wikipedia.org is an alias for rr.wikimedia.org.
rr.wikimedia.org is an alias for rr.yaseo.wikimedia.org.
rr.yaseo.wikimedia.org has address 211.115.107.162

Solution:
-Use Google Cached service. E.g: http://72.14.235.104/search?q=cache:7onl-F7c6PgJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAP
-Use proxy. I try tor, now i can access Wikipedia website :)
-Use other ISP's. From my observation, Jaring's IP's are not affected with this problem

To our beloved Streamyx users, what is your experience?

Update:
On 30th August 2006, 9.25AM; I'm able to open Wikipedia website. Yay!

Topic: Protecting and Recovering the Computing Environment Against Disasters

The continuous availability of the technology infrastructure that supports business processes has never been as critical and far-reaching as it is today.

To prevent this from happening, an effective discovery recovery plan must be in place. With CA’s Recovery Management solutions, preparing for disaster goes beyond just about doing traditional backups and restores, to providing quick recovery with minimum downtime.

At this workshop, learn how CA solutions can give you complete peace of mind if dis! aster strikes.

Dalam RHEL Ada ReactOS

Tatkala fikiran melayang memikirkan nasib badan, ternampak si Najib tengah testing ReactOS guna Qemu. Apa lagi, terus mintak ISO & test pada VMware Workstation.


Host OS: RHEL 4 Update 3 ES
Guest OS: ReactOS 0.3.0

Nota:

• Semasa install, pilih "Microsoft Windows", bukan "Other" sebagai Guest Operating System (dalam kes aku, Windows 2000 Professional). Jika pilih "Other", ReactOS gagal boot - perlu bereksprimen untuk mencari punca & akibat yang lebih lanjut
• Selepas installation selesai, ReactOS akan prompt untuk beberapa driver. ReactOS semacam "hang" pada tahap SCSI driver - tekan "Cancel" untuk selamat
• Semasa guna ReactOS, mungkin berlaku kejadian Blue Screen of Death - biasalah tu :) Tiada apa yang perlu dirisaukan, reboot sahaja.
• Cecilia Cheung memang lawa :D
