I had A few issues during my ISP upgrade. DNS change didn’t take place right away. Because the upgrade went from 10mbps to 20mbps this pointed me to new hardware so of course needed new static ip.addresses since I’m pointing to a different set of routers at the ISP with a different bank of ip.addrresses.
Needed to point my domain to my new static ip.address and let the typical DNS replication take place. Seems the order got a bit mixed at the ISP but now it’s straightened out!
The great thing is that with this ISP provider they always get down and get things back going again and if the issue is on their end they will get it going eventually and be straight forward about it.
Now the DNS domain issue to point to my domain was their issue my issue was for some reason I had to swap one of my switches out since after the upgrade all of the sudden I started losing ip packets. I still need to streamline my wiring and how my various systems connect to my routers.
Remember even though my web site design is simple to the eye everything here is run from my house and my IPS just points my domain to my domain name “dhoytt.com”. There is a bit of complexity to get everything orchestrated and working together at all levels but its fun and obviously not impossible.
My “music server” is a dual 2.4 Xeon with 1 GB of RAM and 140 GB Ulra320 SCSI drives running Windows XP. My Web site server is a bit more tame 900mhz Intel running Linux Fedora 3 which I will be upgrading both OS and definitely hardware soon. All this is built and maintained by your truly.
As I always say stay tuned more to come my lunch time is over so back to my real job!
