AT&T Wireless data routing issue in San Francisco?

#1 (**permalink**) 02-06-2008, 04:53 AM

For the past few hours my Motorola V3xx has been able to access WAP on
the built-in browser, but not the rest of the Internet on Google Maps
for Mobile, Opera Mini, Google Mail for Mobile, etc.

traceroute suggests it's some sort of routing problem -- the first two
addresses I'm seeing are the same:
172.26.248.2
172.26.248.2
...

Is anyone else seeing this issue, or not seeing this issue? Thanks.

From reports posted to an AT&T Wireless Forum, the problem was
widespread, at least up and down the state of California.

I seem to recall that at one point Mr. Navas was going to start up a
thinkpad newsgroup--- something like:
comp.sys.laptop.thinkpad

What ever happened to this? My news server doesn't list any such group.
Thanks

No, exactly like comp.sys.laptops.thinkpad.

Mine does.

Ask your news server's administrator.

I was looking for it until I found alt.comp.periphs.dildoes......(c;

Noone is using it. Make a great place for all those flame wars and some
OT fun....(c;

I wonder if they're USB powered or the ones that use a wall wart??
computer control or manual? Bluetooth control from SELLphone?

The Verizon models would only work if you use Vcast, of course, and pay-
per-view....er, ah, use....

Iphone models would require an iTunes subscription....

Gives "RAID drive" a whole new meaning!....hee hee.

thinkpads are boring............in comparison.

I'll have to look for this. I have some minor issues with my
(overall very nice) Thinkpad X61S, and Lenovo is not really
set up to help people.

Thanks. That does seem to be nearly all Linux information,
and at least one of my two issues is Windows-specific.

You might have better luck here:

http://forum.thinkpads.com/index.php

You might also try to find newsgroup "ibm.ibmpc.thinkpad"; I think it
used to be an internal IBM newsgroup but it leaked into general USENET
distribution and now has a life of its own.

It was never an internal IBM newsgroup.
It was and is a rogue newsgroup.

Created by people without permission from IBM, which has specifically
discouraged such newsgroups.

>You'll never tell us, of course, because that's simply your OPINION.

Wrong again.

>But we're looking for cold, hard FACTS here. Not YOUR opinion.

You're not looking for anything. You'd have to take the childish
blinders off first.
