These quarry tiles are a bit chunky
 
http://www.dionic.net/Alveston/tiles.jpg

Well, somewhat chunkier than I expected. Are they normally that thick (about
20mm)?

They do come up *very* easily with an SDS and a cranked wide chisel. Easier
than the bl**dy worktop came out - that was well and truely wedged between
the wall and the airing cupboard.

Generally 'twas a good day at the Bungalow - got 8 hours straight in today,
brought all the right tools down, no faffing. Got the rest of the kitchen
ripped out and saved the better cupboards for re-use somewhere else:

Bit in the middle is my new workbench :)

http://www.dionic.net/Alveston/cabinets.jpg

Love the original decor(!):

http://www.dionic.net/Alveston/kitchen-1.jpg

And curses to that gas pipe - right where a new wall is going. Didn't expect
it to meander round the left hand wall. Looks like I'll be getting into gas
a bit sooner than expected.

I have a gas question brewing, but I'm off the read the gas FAQ again, then
I'll ask it...

Cheers

Don't throw the quarry tiles away, they are worth 50p each at the
salvage yard.

[reply aimed at Dave TMH too]

No, it's exactly as I posted...

Can you ping 81.2.78.41?

If not, there's a routing problem between our two ISPs, or you got unlucky
and tried when my ADSL fell over.

If you can, must be a DNS problem - I'd like to look into that so any
feedback would be helpful.

Webserver's running at home off ADSL.

Indeed - even better, as they are the originals from the 50's when the house
was built, I'm going to keep them and reuse them as a small feature
somewhere in the garden. They're coming out because as you can see they've
been rather abused with adhesive from those crappy yellow tiles and room
layout modifications mean that I'd be unlikely to be able to repair a
layout using them very well. But for outside, if they look a bit rough
that'll probably be OK.

I note that I and Dennis, who had problems, are behind routers

configured your router to require more than the usual? (Please note the

I note that I and Dennis, who had problems, are behind routers

configured your router to require more than the usual? (Please note the
careful drafting to conceal the fact that my ignorance of TCP/IP is
near-immaculate.)


Not especially - firewall rules are mostly port based and not clever...
Shouldn't make any difference as it appears to me that your connections come
from a public IP associated with the NAT gateway.

Unless some ISPs are trying to be clever and block connections to netblocks
associated with ADSL, but as far as I'm concerned that's broken
behaviour...

I can get to home from work and that's a NAT'ed connection too...

Weird.

Always liked words starting with dis-, probably mother's influence as
she explained some of the oddities of doing crosswords many, many moons ago.

Yep, thanks. My mistake was confusing your router with a Virginmedia
UBR.

One other thought for Tim. Any chance you are running with "Bogon
filters" which include 77.96.0.0/13? ISTR that when IP addresses in
that block were first used by Telewest there were some access problems
because of out-of-date filters. But I could very well be
disremembering.

Genius point. I've not reviewed the bogon list, having based my firewall off
shorewall, and the bogon list is well out of date.

I'm updating it and I now have a logging rule that fires if it trips on the
bogon rule.

I'll see how that goes...

Yep, that was it. The old bogon list had 90/8 which, rather embarrasingly
now contains a core route out from my ISP.

Knowing I won't have time for the next year to maintain anything, took the
bogon list back to the basic list of private and reserved addresses.

Web****e will be accessible by all.

S'ok, all fixed now. I built my firewall so long ago and it's been so
reliable (ie untouched), I'd completely forgotton some of the details. All
my fault, all fixed, so back to the DIY now...

But thanks to all who took the time to traceroute etc as it did affirm the
problem, so I can be confident I've fixed everything :)

Well in the grand scheme of things - not much of great complexity
happened. Tim inadvertently told his firewall to discard incoming
messages from certain origins, and it did.

"Ping" is a command line program that squirts a "are you there" message
to a remote computer and waits for a response.

Traceroute is a posh version of ping that does the same but also elicits
a response from each of the "in between" computers in the chain that
connect you to the remote machine - hence you can see at what point in
the chain the message goes AWOL.

That pointed the finger of suspicion at the firewall, and Tim had words
with it.

Job done.

Simple huh? ;-)
