Hi Reinier,

i dont think its just our modem seeing as its an orange wide issue for
this particular server. And yes, am sure that at the point its only that
server that is inaccessible. Funny thing though is that, all our other
servers are accessible at that time.

We also have over a hundred clients hosted on that particular server but
its only the ones on the orange network complaining.

David, all our servers are setup similarly so ideally if one is having
issues of this nature, you would expect it to be replicated across the
other servers (normally happens) but in this case that aint happening.

We are currently stumped and unfortunately, for us the techies i managed
to get in touch with at orange were initially enthusiastic about helping
out, but they have suddenly gone quiet on us (2 hours and counting). or
maybe they are just out for lunch, urghhhh!!!!
