Hello folks
I've just been to a client who suddenly lost access to various websites
including
www.hants.gov.uk
It turns out that TalkTalk have assigned to her router an IP address
like 2.97.x.x, and that Hampshire County Council think that it's
invalid. See
http://www.talktalkmembers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=436471
for tedious discussion about this, which says that lots of other sites
are also having trouble accepting such addresses.
According to
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/
such an address is valid.
My question to the panel is this: Who is at fault here? HCC et al. for
making false assumptions about what constitutes a valid address, or
TalkTalk for using these addresses?
cheers
Chris
