Dailymotion not working on plusnet
Thanks, see my edit. I ran Wireshark yesterday, but as I hadn't had any problems and couldn't see anything odd, I didn't save it. I'll try and do it again later. It may be of some use as a successful example - assuming it is then 
Just read through this thread so I'm a tad late to the party.
I've been messing around on dailymotion.com for the past ten minutes or so and been able to stream videos/navigate the site without problem (pcl-ag02). This obviously contradicts the observations from others in this thread and suggests that this problem might not be affecting all of our customers (assuming of course that it is an issue with our network).
No they shouldn't do but that's an interesting observation. I'm able to replicate the issue simply by running a handful of nslookups against the domain:
Bear in mind that I don't seem to be having any problems with the site.
You'd have thought so but it certainly doesn't seem to be the case
0x80 I'd imagine. That's what it shows as from my connection. Unfortunately my Wiresharks aren't much use as I'm not experiencing problems.
One other thing I reckon it's worth people noting is what IP address they're assigned? Looking at the forum logs I don't think there's any correlation but it won't do any harm to post the first couple of octets from your IP as well if you're having problems. Mine is 80.229..x.x
Ideally we need a Wireshark from somebody who's experiencing the problem. We'll look into the DNS thing but I suspect it may be a red herring if people using Google's DNS are still experiencing problems.

Quote from: ejs Plusnet's DNS servers (the ones we all love to hate, 212.159.6.9 and 212.159.6.10) appear to be occasionally answering with SERVFAIL to queries for dailymotion.com. But then Plusnet's DNS servers might just do that occasionally for any domain.

>nslookup dailymotion.com 212.159.6.10
Server: cdns02.plus.net
Address: 212.159.6.10
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.

Quote from: jelv If the dailymotion.com name servers are failing to respond sometimes couldn't that affect lookups via Google as well?
You'd have thought so but it certainly doesn't seem to be the case
