[oldengineer]

Morning update from my area - no connection. mydish.com login redirecting me to customersupport.dishnetwork.com

I logged on with no problems. Something strange here.

UPDATE! I finally got back in on all 3 of my DISH accounts at 8:36 this morning. I guess they finally fixed it.

Everything works for me today, including the retailer sites.

I followed your instruction to a T, Scott, to change the DNS on my systems.. And it didn't help.. I am well aware how to change DNS Servers. And since I am limited to the only carrier for Internet possible in my area, that can't be changed either. As I said before, I know my way around a computer.. Just haven't found a way around this yet.

While not cheap, using a VPN service may get you around your problem for the time being. There's no guarantee that the VPN's DNS cache isn't similarly poisoned but they may be willing to work with you where your current ISP doesn't seem interested.

I seem to be working OK now as well.

I reached the website without a problem today.

I actually already have a VPN, and I tried it, but it didn't work either.. That being said, all seems to be back working today. Dish really screwed the pooch on this one. Although I know the Dish apologist will quickly jump in and blame something else.

No need to berate Scott in this thread...

I actually got some good from it. In addition to spewing some unnecessary venom I learned something about nslookup and that my ISP blocks the use of non owned DNS.

 

[TheKrell]

You call that, "good"?

 

[oldengineer]

You call that, "good"?

well, the nslookup thing anyway. I found that Dish has a Non Authoritative Record on an ipV6 DNS somewhere so apparently they're making plans to screw up the future internet just as good as they're doing today.

I didn't really mean that.

Well, I still can't access my account when I try to login at dishnetwork.com. Firefox still gives me the "Untrusted Connection" bit and won't let me through. Charter internet here.

Did you try unplugging your modem/router?. Can you bypass the router and see if you get anything?

It's back today, so I'm fine now.
