The New Zealand Network Operators' Group The New Zealand Network Operators' Group (NZNOG) has no king, president or formal membership. At present it consists of the subscribers to this mailing list, which anyone is free to join. This posting, or one like it, is sent to all subscribers each month, except those who work for the Ministry for Economic Development. NZNOG 2002 Work is now under way towards a conference and social gathering to be held in Auckland on 11 and 12 July 2002. Abstracts are sought _this week_ from prospective speakers, with the aim that a draft programme will appear not later than 8 May. If you wish to add your name as a possible presenter, please email nznog2002(a)deanpemberton.com without delay. If you wish to act a sponsor and have not already discussed this either with me or the Convenor, please contact me at this email address. My thanks to 2Day Internet Ltd, Cisco and Juniper.

About This Mailing List This list has around 320 subscribers, a number which isn't changing much at present.

Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical issues. 2. Discussion related to meetings of network service providers is appropriate. 3. Discussion unrelated to these topics is not appropriate. 4. Postings to multiple mailing lists are discouraged. 5.

Postings of a political, philosophical or legal nature are discouraged. 8. Postings to the list should be in ASCII or MIME encoded as text/plain. Attachments should not be sent to the list. To present a document, a suitable URL may be referred to. For documents of general interest, the use of proprietary file formats is discouraged. 9. Breaches of list etiquette should be dealt with privately with the offending list user, and should not result in complaints being sent to the list. 10. A person repeatedly breaching list etiquette shall receive warnings from the list administrator. A further breach after the second such warning within thirty days shall result in the offender being unsubscribed from the list. Other action may also be taken to block postings to the list by the offender. Any such unsubscription is to be immediately announced to the list. Mailing List Archives A full archive is available at http://list.waikato.ac.nz/archives/nznog/ Any message sent to the list will be archived and made available on the web automatically. Changes are not made to the archive on request, though the administrator remains happy to assist the Office of the Privacy Commissioner should any complaint be laid with that office.

Is there any publicly (& free) accessible dyndns server in NZ? (Ignoring dyndns.co.nz) I'd like to use a local one, and was thinking of setting one up, but there no point in reinventing the wheel. jfp. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jean-Francois Pirus <jfp(a)clearfield.com> Clearfield Software Ltd Phone (+64-9) 358 2081 4th Floor 8-10 Whitaker Place Fax (+64-9) 358 2083 P O Box 2348 Auckland, New Zealand ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Yup.. didnt help that Ihugs New Fandangled Transparent Proxies just 'suddenly' started ICMPing the crap out of me.. I seem to recall failing to get a straight answer out of Ihug Abuse untill id sent in at least 3 or 4 seperate (and loud) complaints. Ive run the abuse box for a couple of ISPs now Glen - so yes, ive learnt a bit since I stopped using Ihug for my internet access - but one thing I have learnt is not to ignore customers. A couple of decent, polite responses (which may or may not include things like "This is outside of our control, please do not report further abuse of this nature to us") work a lot well than a stoney silence, which used to originate from Ihug Abuse far too often. If you educate your customers theyre less likely to come back to you with the same issues. Ihug Abuse has improved somewhat over the last year or two, fortunately. :) Not bad, especially considering staff turnover. Mark. (I got my Ihug account when I was 16 and barely knew what TCP/IP was. I got my first DoS-incurred BSOD 6 days after I upgraded my DX40 from Win 3.11 to Win95B - Thats a steep learning curve for someone who is NOT a natural talent. You gotta learn somehow, dont you?)

Thatd be unusual - My comms with them has always been that they have to wait for the log files to get parsed, which means the most recent entry is at least half a day old... Since when is admins@ a standard for abuse complaints anyway? :P abuse(a)xtra.co.nz would be the most appropriate address to use. (Im glad they reactivated it, whos bright idea was it to close that box?)

Internet Name Protection Pty Ltd
by bob＠brockhurst.co.nz 23 Apr '02

23 Apr '02

As many of you will be aware there seems to be another bulk snail mail from one Internet Name Protection Pty Ltd to .co.nz name holders offering to register hitherto unregistered names. Such names can be simply registered by them for $NZ125pa ! Oddly the name holder for (internetnameprotection.co.nz) seems to be the Internet Name Group (ING) of St Kilda. ING remain suspended as a Domainz .nz provider. Derek Locke (CEO of Domainz) will be issuing a press statement (hopefully later today) discouraging people from sending ING money or having anything to do with them and I would ask you to give your customers a similar message. Domainz will be urgently investigating what other steps can be taken.

Way OT: Employment anyone?
by Jim Mann 21 Apr '02

21 Apr '02

Hi all, I do apologies for this way off topic post. If it's considered a massive no-no then maybe 'employment solicitation' could be explicitly included in the list of unacceptable postings! I'm hoping that by posting to people at the coal face I'll get more response than some of the agencies I've been in touch with! Very briefly then: I have: - just got here from the UK & live in Auckland. - worked for 7 years at a University Computer Centre where I: - built/managed WAN to connect 1300 schools in 2 counties, and a - MAN to connect all Universities in the region to the NREN, - Oh yes, the University LAN. - had to sell the 'Internet' to some IT Managers/Principles! (even AFTER a FREE connection!) I have not got: - Asbestos underpants, - any vendor qualifications ( I consider this an asset!) [I do have a degree though] If you know of any current or forthcoming opportunity in the ISP/Carrier area can you let me know? Or anything else in datacomms for that matter! Can I be useful to you? Thank you for your time. Jim. Jim Mann "If you don't ask - you don't get!"
