NC036: Migration update 15 — Possible return of connection issues

6 June 2018 16:35:16 +0000

As happened on Monday, after initial success with setting up the new mail server, we’re again receiving reports from clients in Zambia (so far) that are starting to have their connections to the server dropped by their ISPs. This is incredibly frustrating, certainly for you, of course, but also for us.

If this is happening to you, you can help us help you by submitting what’s called an MTR report. MTR is a network diagnostic tool that gives us quantifiable information we can analyse and (hopefully) act on, showing where the network problem affecting your email lies so that we may possibly contact the organisation responsible for the problem.

If you’re running Windows, please download WinMTR. The file you will download is just a zip file that contains the actual program (32- and 64-bit versions). Read the “README.TXT” file for instructions on which version to use. All you need to do is double-click the appropriate file and the program runs; it’s not actually installed on your computer. Then type nc036.ninernet.net (yes, that’s ninernet.net, NOT niner.net) in the box as prompted, and select the start option to begin generating report data. Once you’ve gathered enough data, please use the copy or export functions to send us the report.

Please also send us the following information:

  • Your IP address.
  • The name of your ISP. If you have access to multiple connections, an MTR report from each ISP would be greatly appreciated.
  • If you have a reliable contact at that ISP, his/her name, position, phone number and email address.

Please email this to our usual email address, or send it via our contact form.

Thanks.
