  • Now this is interesting... I can't access wikipedia

    For some reason on my home system, I cannot access wikipedia.org. Anytime I click a link or try to visit the page, it hands up on "waiting for en.wikipedia.org" and it never goes through, no matter how long it sits. I switched to uverse recently, and I'm thinking there must be some routing problems. I tried using the google DNS servers, that didn't do anything.

      Yes, I've been unable to access it for about 4 days so far. Not sure what the deal is. It must be some internal AT&T routing issue. I can ping wikipedia, DNS resolving correctly and working, I just can't pull the site up whatsoever.

          10 hops



          They must be on to me. I've been using wikipedia for years and I've never donated.

            why is it translating you to a fucking quad a record. Are you using IPv6 at home?

            Is it the future already what the fuck.

              I don't fucking know. No, My router and my local network is IPv4. It's converting me to IPv6 externally for some damn reason, I have no idea. This is AT&T BS, I've never seen this with time warner.

                I know that Verizon Wireless has been proxying user traffic from 4G through IPv6 to IPv4, but not in all areas. I see it because the traffic is actually proxied and not directly connecting. I would not be surprised if broadband was starting to head that route.

                I think that is your problem, its doing IPv6 and not IPv4.

                google.com has AAAA address 2607:f8b0:4007:804::1003

                http://2607:f8b0:4007:804::1003

                Does that load?


                Try this too: http://test-ipv6.com

                Also, your first hop is IPv6, not IPv4, I think your computer and network is doing both. Maybe disable IPv6 on your desktop machine.

                  I can't load the google IPv6 address, but I can load the test site, 10/10 everything shows as fine. I will play with my router and see what I can do.

                    You should just be able to disable IPv6 from your windows machine, its under lan properties, uncheck IPv6 and apply.

                    Or you can run the 'fixit' script from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929852

                    Pretty sure after doing this and rebooting or re-dhcping an ip, will fix your issue.
