Lionel collectors like to use Ebay. Unfortunately, Ebay is down since friday morning 31 august CET. Also other American sites are apparently affected: Yahoo groups, Hotmail. Here we can still get to the welcome window, but can not pass the sign-in window. Smaller sites are still operational. This situation bears resemblance to hacker attacks of two weeks ago. Lets hope these guys find another hobby soon; for instance toy trains!
Sorry, Hackers. This was a Dutch disease. The largest Dutch internet providers (KPN related: Hetnet, Planet, etc.) have send updates to routers of their users and this caused the trouble. Sure, they deny, but when the preferred DNS number in the TCP/IP protocol is changed, suddenly it all works again. I hope that Ebay reps. will have a word with KPN about this.
