How to get square eyes
by Richard Naylor 04 Jul '04

04 Jul '04

It was a busy week end. Another radio station available - Cool Blue Radio www.coolblueradio.com 4 TV stations now available - TV-One, TV-2, Shine TV and Maori TV check out www.r2.co.nz/meta/live.htm Things like audio levels etc are being checked, changed, and otherwise fiddled with. Equally routing will change later in the week, but will be transparent to most. If there is demand, we'll look at higher resolution versions as well. I also plan a page that lets you watch all 4 stations at once - for the serious channel surfer. enjoy ! rich ps - I know the web page is "soviet", I'll get that sorted soon.

Zombies
by Simon Lyall 02 Jul '04

02 Jul '04

It looks like there are lot of NZ based Zombies sending very large amounts of Spam ( much of it in German) to some ISPs. This has really been going hard over the last hour. I'm seeing adsl accounts at xtra, iprolink and ihug, xtra dialups etc etc. As a related issue, how do people feel about a whitelist RBL of NZ mail servers, It looks like it's not good to just whitelist NZ IPs -- Simon J.

Routing funky-ness to WIX via GGI?
by Matthew Poole 30 Jun '04

30 Jun '04

A number of people are reporting difficulties accessing the Debian mirror at ftp.citylink. FTPing in from IHUG or Max (and apparently from Xtra, and I'd guess anyone else who transits via GGI) gets the following message: 550- ISP Routing Error 550- 550- Your ISP's access to local New Zealand content is currently 550- broken. Please contact your ISP and advise them that they 550- may well be able to fix this problem for you by peering with 550- the route servers and/or other ISPs at the APE or the WIX. 550- 550- The server you have connected to is not within New Zealand. 550- In order to protect you from prohibitive international 550- traffic charges, you will not be able to access the resources 550- you were looking for, here. 550- 550- We apologise for any inconvenience. 550 Now, we all expect Xtra/Telecom to play nasty games with domestic traffic, but can anyone shed light on why "good" ISPs such as the Hug or Max aren't doing the domestic peering thing? Are we starting to see preemptive peering termination by ISPs who're preparing for the day when the two Ts stop playing the game? On the other side, are we now seeing a trend towards content providers playing a political game to try and reverse the swing away from peering? Obviously Citylink are far more involved at the peering level than nearly any other content provider, but blocking access to content mirrors under the guise of protecting the consumer(when in reality it's protecting the provider) is not a good way to make friends.
