Our service provider who is based in London who provides our main link to
the internet had issues over the weekend and effected customers on a
public IP address. This issue is now resolved.
Let me know if the problem still exists for you.

Are you still able to ping IP addresses when you set your pc to the static IP address? What I mean by this is can you access xx.xx.xx.xx when set up with a static IP address even if you can't access google.com?

It would probably speed things up greatly if we could contact you to troubleshoot this issue. Would you be able to provide a phone number at which you can be reached and the time of day that would normally suit you to receive a call?

Down at the moment - switched to dynamic IP
The server at Google is taking too long to respond.

I was promised a resolution to my fixed IP issue, details below. Someone was due to call me back each day at 3pm, this didn't happen once.

At the moment I have a number of sites that I can't used my fixed IP for, including google search. Some days I can't use the fixed IP for the entire day.

So, I swap from fixed to dynamic, a bit of a pain.

Can we resolve this issue please.

Also, having connection issues on both fixed and dynamic at the mo, ping & jitter are a bit poor for the last week or so.

Directly connected dynamic IP.

The engineer, XXXXX, whom you were speaking with had to take an unexpected
leave of absence. I will follow up with you and call you tomorrow. What
time suits you for a call. If its not too much trouble could you give a
brief overview of your problem and what has been done to resolve it to
date.

I work from home, so need a fixed IP to get through the firewall (UK). My setup here is that I have a wireless router with the fixed IP details in, which works fine other than the items below.
If I plug in directly to the PC (which I dont like doing, no firewall), it gets a dynamic IP.

About a month ago there were a number of sites that started to fail, Google for example. Others include:

Windows Edge - Home
RocketDock - About RocketDock
Mike Slocombe, urban75 design, award winning, London based internet/intranet/web design, multimedia, usability agency and web consultancy (failing at the moment)
boards.ie - Now Ye're Talkin'

to name but a few.

My issue is that I have to have a fixed IP for work, so I am constantly swapping from fixed to dynamic IP, quite painful, especially since if I forget I can't receive mails.

Secondly, my VOIP has been more than flakey for the last week or so, high jitter, high pings, regardless of IP.

Call me anytime today on xxxxxxxxxx.

Regards,

6 days and not a word from you, I work from home so I am nearly always in during the day. I can't even update my own server without flicking to dynamic IP (www.xxx.com). I'm off on hols for 3 weeks from tomorrow, I really hope this will be resolved by then.

Still having the same issues. Can't get Google or Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket on my fixed IP, can you investigate please.
