Server problems?

I am on GMT in the south of the UK, with a 38/7 Mbs connection via BT:

I guess I try and read the forum 3 or 4 times a day, roughly evenly spaced.

I think about one in 10 attempts gets me a "waiting for ..." message, sometimes for a minute or so, and then it connects.

I have set LMHOSTS pointers as suggested. I use Google via W7 on a local server 2003 domain. As an ex IT manager, I do know what I am doing. Some of the time ;)

No other internet service gives similar problems, or anything like it.

FWIW. I am not expecting miracle solutions.

Respect to Jason!

Today's downtime is under investigation. During some large file transfers the server became unresponsive and after a reboot from the console required disk checking which dragged out the downtime. Further analysis will be forthcoming.

Probably move to a more redundant and failure resistant cloud setup later this year.
