Well...from what I hear, the main problem it caused was traffic slowup from
bloat on the servers....according to what I'm hearing on the news, lots of
servers slowed way down....so, I'm guessing I just kept timing out when I
went to TechTrax or freelists, cuz I had to pass thru one of the slowed down
bloated servers? And I guess they just assume that some servers that were
shut down for the weekend will cause more bloat when they come back up on
Monday?
Hell...I don't know all the technical parts of this....obviously, you know
LOTS more about it then me...but, from what I hear, this worm just slows
everything down and that seems to be what happened to me...who knows...maybe
it was just coincidence....all I know is that it only happened to me with
these two sites....and I could get to TechTrax's main page fine....it was
only when I tried to go deeper that I would get a DNS error and when I tried
to ping either a specific TechTrax page or any freelists page, the response
I got from the ping was "url not found. Enter it again and try again" or
something like that.
But, this is way OT here...I just wanted to let Pete know why I couldn't
give him the direct link to the archives...LOL

Hmmm, I don't understand. This worm is SQL Server only and it just makes
a lot of noise that the routers can't handle. Since the major net
providers are saying only North and South Korea are really struggling,
the worm doesn't leave any file footprint behind and a simple reboot
will stop it, it shouldn't make *that* much of an impact tomorrow. It
definitely shouldn't be causing you any undue pain right now.
None of my networks are experiencing any latency at this time (I take
care of 400 subnets for my employer and another 5 or 6 outside of
there). If you want to send me some mail off-list, why not send me the
results of this at the command prompt:
Tracert pubs.logicalexpressions.com >c:\techtrace.txt
Send me a copy of the file c:\techtrace.txt when it's done. From that,
we should be able to pinpoint which router along the way has an issue
and whose network it is. Then I can see if they're reporting any
problems.
