Anyone; how can an inaccurate router table cause 8 hours of down time for AT&TWorldNet if it was infact, a shared ISP? Since IP addresses are shared among ISPs, and databases storing those addresses have to be continually updated to ensure service, why would a "shared ISP" affect AT&T, and how often do the addresses need to be updated? I would think that AT&T had total control over their IP address and links, or is this an individual ISP problem and AT&T was singled out? Did this mean that the problem-router with a shared ISP was just that, shared and not controlled in any fashion by AT&T? So one could say that any ISP running off AT&TWorldNet could in fact mishandle a router function and cause considerable down time, not only to the local ISP, but to the entire AT&T program? If it take more than a few sentences here, that's ok, no biggie..... Just a bit confused here. techweb.com temp'
