Seabreeze down?

[2iar]

Is it just me that can't access Seabreeze at the moment, or is the site down?

Thanks,
Mike

Have a look here (if it's working - it's not for me at the moment that's why I asked)...

http://www.seabreeze.com.au/graphs/qld.asp

Basically predicts wind & wave height (and normally more accurately than BOM)

Good luck,
Mike

Don't forget that Seabreeze and Buoyweather ALL use the BOM forecasts for their information. None of them crank out reports by themselves!

[fish2eat]

Well if they use the same info, someone has it wrong for Brisbane this coming Saturday.

This morning the BOM site said 10 to 20 knots, Seabreeze is showing 5 to 10 knots ????????

I find that neither of them are remotely accurate until 48 hours beforehand, sometimes 24 hours, and in the case of BOM not even on the actual day.

I still cant get it?

[brentasauros]

it's..up..for..me

[2iar]

Wierd.

It was down for about 2 days when accessed from work, but not from home.

Now all seems ok, so I won't need to look for another job ;D

Good luck,
Mike

I have not been able to get it for over a week now. I think it is getting overloaded and blocking connections.

I cant afford to go fishing anyway. I guess I must be emitting lots of carbon somewhere ;D

Talk about dragging up old posts....you must have gone back to 100 pages to find this one..

I havent had any dramas logging on in the last few years either :P

Did not pickup that this was an old post. Pulled it from a Google search as I was looking to see if anyone else was having issues getting the seabreeze website recently.

I am still having issues and have only been able to view it once in about 3 weeks of trying.
No probs viewing other websites. DNS looks like it is resolving correctly 174.133.239.138.
Maybe a bad DNS record from my ISP (activ8 satelite).

Curious if anyone else is having issues. Guess I will have to rely on the BOM for now.

[Basstones]

I've got the same issues....just won't load at all

Edit: Just asked someone else at work, he's having the same problems

[stonecold]

Yes mate I have, but only on this PC. I dont think I've chnged anything and I was acessing it last week from this PC. I can still get the site on my young blokes laptop. I rang my ISP and they said aaaahh dunno, let us think about it and we'll get back to you...that was 2 days ago.

[FishHunter]

I had problems till about 11 this morning and now its all good

@Ben

The numbers represent the actual address (IP Address) of the website on the Internet. Not unsimilar to your street address.
DNS is like a big address book that tells your computer where the website lives.
Type in www.seabreeze.com.au (http://www.seabreeze.com.au) and the domain name resolves in the background to the address of 174.133.239.138. The problem is that there are thousands of DNS servers out there and was thinking maybe my ISP's DNS records were incorrect or the seabreeze website had moved but my ISP's DNS had not been updated.

It looks like it may be a bad DNS record as some Tools I have used are showing 50.23.74.196 as being the correct IP Address and not the 174.133.239.138 that my computer via my ISP resolves to. You can find out which IP address your computer is using by opening a command prompt (Windows: start, run, type cmd, hit enter) and typing "ping seabreeze.com.au" without the quotes and hitting the enter key. You shoud get a response back from your ISP DNS server which will list the IP address. You should then also get a response back from the website iteslf. Note that not all computers will get a response from the website but all should resolve an IP address if connected to the Internet. Your firewall may block the websites ping response and also the website may block the response depending on the setup.

My response:
