mmm  Shocked i just got this

Thanks. I think that problem reflects some reassignment of IPs that Plusnet did in January 2015. Plusnet need to change the reverse DNS entries for those IPs. I reported this to Plusnet at the time but it hasn't been actioned.

Everything in this thread seems to point to a single IP/gateway being out of kilter:
~$ host 195.166.130.202
202.130.166.195.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 202.core.plus.net.

Happy to get it raised internally. Is this thread the only place you reported the issue David?

No, there's a topic with more information (possibly an outbound rDNS issue too) in the UserGroup Technical Focus forum.  I won't post the link here since access is restricted.

Re: Gateway Checker Update

I've raised an internal problem and asked for the rDNS entries to be updated (ref: 85652).
For info, I can see three entries in the traceroute here that need updating:
202.core.plus.net [195.166.130.202] <--- This is wrong, should be PTW-BNG02
gi12-1-2-161.pcl-ag01.plus.net [84.93.255.80] < --- This is wrong, should be another PTW-BNG02 hop
lts2.bt622-12.plus.net [212.159.1.194] <--- This is wrong, should be a core gateway hop

These two hops are wrong (should be pcl-bng04):
link12-central10.pcl-gw02.plus.net (84.93.249.118) 2.449 ms

  2    10 ms     9 ms     9 ms  179.core.plus.net [195.166.130.179]

I'll ask for them to be updated.

    • the "not on a Plusnet connection" message suggests action to take if that diagnosis is not correct (see quote 2)

    Sorry, the tool failed to identify your gateway; this does not mean that anything is wrong with your connection.

    A new range of IP's will be released to the masses shortly - 146.198.0.0/16.
    Do you need to update the script so it recognises these David?

Thanks for the heads up. I've updated the script.
Testing (using a random IP in the range) now gives

IP 146.198.222.18 is a Plusnet IP

Re: Gateway Checker Update

Yes, that output is the correct format. It says your gateway is pcl-ag05.

Re: Gateway Checker Update

Gateway IP will not resolve to a hostname.
Which gateway is this?

Re: Gateway Checker Update

Thanks.
It looks like Plusnet need to change the rDNS entry for 84.93.249.38 to reflect that it is now a gateway. Smiley
I assume this results from the capacity increases made yesterday morning.

Re: Gateway Checker Update

It's ptn-bng02.
I'll have somebody look at the rDNS again (ref: 85652) Roll_eyes
