[HELP] Amazon Kindles Cannot See the Amazon Server...

Yesterday both of our Amazon Kindles lost the ability to download books from our archieve library.  Both are showing that they are connected to the Internet but when I sync them nothing happens.  We contacted Amazon and they sent out a new Kindle to us but this one also fails to download any books.
I then downloaded the Kindle for Andriod app and attempted to get the books again the same result.  I then turn off my WiFi on my phone and tried again.  This time my archieve library appeared.  So it worked via O2 Mobile Network.  I then set my HTC Desire up as a Hotspot and connected the original Kindle to it via WiFi and it worked.  The Archieved Books list updated with all the books.
So it appears there is an issue with BT accessing Amazon Kindle servers.  Note all PC's and Laptops successfully connect to the Internet via BT BB.
Looking at my router logs the Kindles are trying to access two servers:
dogvgb9ujhybx.cloudfront.net
cde-g7g.amazon.com
When I ping these cde-g7g.amazon.com times out.
Any ideas?
Amazon are due to ring back any minute to see if the problem has been resolved by the new Kindle.  I think the problem is a BT BB one though!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sounds like to me it's a Amazon Server problem.  They rang me back and I explained how it worked via O2 mobile network.  He then moved the new Kindle on to my Amazon account and told me to go get a free book.  I then sync'd the Kindle and it stayed on my dad's Amazon account.  It should have moved to mine which means it did not connect to their server.  However Kindles have an Experimental area with a web browser on it.  I was asked to browse to Amazon's website and that worked!
They still cannot download any books though!!!
They asked me to contact BT to see if there was a problem with the them.  BT told me if there was an issue with the DNS servers I would not be able to connect to any websites so it must be Amazon!
The only thing I am going to try is to set up the Home Hub and see if they connect via that,  it was working fine via my Vigor 2800 though so I don't think its going to make a difference.

    Help! I cannot see the Airplay symbol on any of my devices anymore!  I have tried following all guides and troubleshooting, but to no avail. Just cannot use the AppleTV with any of my devices.

    Thanks for the link. It didn't work at first on any of the devices but then I decided to enter a manual DNS instead of an automatic configuration. Then followed the steps again from your link and it worked.
    It is not stable though as I need to reset the device for it to see the airplay. But when it is connected it stays connected for 30 minutes approx.
    Any other suggestions to keep it stable would be fantastic but at least in the meantime I have a workaround.
    Thanks

  • OIA 11.1.1.5 - OIM 11.1.1.5 Integration Cannot see the Provisioning Server

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm trying to integrate OIM and OIA, I followed the steps that appear on http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24179_01/doc.1111/e23377/integratingwithoimpreferred.htm#BABBEBFC but when I need to create the provisioning server I don't see the oracle provisioning server.
    I modified all the required files and double checked they where saved and restarted the OIA server but no changes.
    I deployed OIA and OIM on the same WL domain 10.3.5, also they are on Windows 2003 Server.
    Please I'll appreciate all the help you can give me.
    Regards,
    Camila

    Hi Camila
    In order to view the Oracle Provisioning Server, you need to uncomment some lines in iam-context.xml file in $RBACX_HOME/WEB-INF:
    <import resource="oim-commons-context.xml"/>
    <import resource="oim-11g-context.xml"/> <!-- This also works with at least Oracle Identity Manager 9.1.0.2 B P17-->
    and you need enable the nex element
    <entry key="oracle">
    <ref bean="oimSolution"/>
    </entry>
    after that ypou need to restart your App Server.

  • I have problem in osx 10.8 i cannot see the encoding option while connecting to the my pc server ?

    MR.Eric please help ?
    i have problem in osx 10.8 i cannot see the encoding option while connecting to the my pc server ?
    this option was in osx 10.6 see it  here 
    because if i create any file in Arabic name from osx 10.8 the others old mac os  see it only in unreadable letters ?
    please help
    thanks

    Aw geez, they sure have messed up OSX.
    Do you have a backup of 10.8.2?
    Maybe...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Cannot find the proxy server even after following the advice in the help section

    I successfully downloaded the latest version but I cannot connect to the internet. I get a "cannot find the proxy server" prompt. I have followed the advice in the help section but nothing seems to work.

    You can check20the connection settings here:
    *Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection > Settings
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.

  • New install Express on Win 8 can see the Server name but cannot see the instance

    I am doing this over the phone with a client who is not sure what he is doing we have installed Ok the folders exist and we have enabled TCP/IP
    The instance is MSSQLServer when we try to connect all we get is 'ComputerName' I am expecting 'ComputerName \MSSQLServer'
    The user does not have administrator rights and he installed SQL Server without the administrator (I think, I am not sure he knows)
    I am looking for clues as to what may cause the instance name to not appear
    thanks in advance
    jnc

    Thanks, that is useful but the list of instances just matches the details in SQL Configuration manager
    What I need is to understand why, if the server is listed and is running it is not visible when we try to connect
    jnc
    Hi jnc,
    Could you please verify that if  the instance name is not listed in “Server name” drop-down list of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)? If so, does the instance list in the Local Servers tab in the “Browse for Servers” dialog?
    If you cannot see the express instance in the Local Servers tab in the “Browse for Servers” dialog, the reason may due to SQL Server cannot get the appropriate registry entry information in the System Registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft
    SQL Server\Instance Names).
    To work around this issue, you can manually input the instance name which will be show in the Local Servers tab. Also make sure that right click on SSMS and then choose “Run As Administrator” to start it.
    However, if the express instance is listed in the Local Servers tab in the “Browse for Servers” dialog, but not in the “Server name” drop-down list. Then if you have never connected with the instance name before, its entry will not listed in the drop-downlist.
    Or if you have connected to server with a wrong instance name, you cannot see its entry the next time.
    Thanks,

    I updated photoshop cc but I cannot see the updates when I launch photoshop? I have restarted the computer and that still doesn't help.

    Installing the "Update" installs a totally new version.  The old version of Photoshop CC is still installed.  It is likely you are running the old version.

  • CAnnot see the tree and how to sync users

    Setting up a demo network.
    1 Novell Netware SBS server
    1 Linux SBS server
    Installed eDirectory to the Linux box, imanager and everything works fine.
    Netware - master replica
    Linux - read/write
    If the Netware server goes down, we cannot see the tree.
    Tried with SLP and without.
    creating users in iManager from either server IP works fine and shows up in
    Console1
    Is there a way that when we add a user to the NDS, that it will create a
    user on the Linux server as well? I mean on the actual linux server, not
    eDirectory?
    I suppose similar to setting DirXML for Active Directory and NDS?

    Hi, thanks for your e-mail, pretty much the same deal for me, except one of
    my techs is a Red Hat guy, so we had some tech knowledge before testing
    this.
    Actually, we noted that through ldap, we can see the eDirectory users on the
    Linux server under the users section, and we can add them to linux groups
    and shares, which through the setup of Samba, can map drives to the linux
    server.
    you should check out the article I sent along earlier that explains how to
    set that up. Very interesting.

    Hello Robert,
    Just so you don't feel alone out there..
    A little of my background. I am a Linux newbie, ex MCNE from NW4 days and
    run and deploy NW65 im my job. I decided to learn Linux and as I don't use
    it at work. I thought the only real way to get familiar with it was to run
    it at home. I purchased NLSBS9 and have installed it as the home server
    and it runs the households email and Internet access. My users have
    resistance to Linux at the desktop so its XPpro for now.
    My experiences with NLSBS9..(remember I am a Linux newbie, hopefully if I
    tell you something that is incorrect someone will jump in and correct me.)
    It appears that NLSBS9 with it's accompanying Novell Linux desktop
    licences was conceived as a total package. Linux clients to Linux server.
    Windows client support is not so well implemented. For Windows user file
    and printer access you need to run and configure Samba. Samba requires
    linux users to be created and these are stored in an Ldap directory.
    eDirectory is present solely for GroupWise to run, it is not linked to the
    LDAP directory. The two directories are not linked or synced in any way.
    I thought NLSBS consisted of Suse Linux Open server plus Groupwise.
    Apparently not, as Suse has a facilty called LUM (Linux user management)
    which is a tool that you can manage users with and it is linked to
    eDirectory.
    A little birdie tells me an announcement about NLSBS9 and future
    developments could be made during Brainshare....
    There is a .PDF of nearly 8 mbs. that is a introductory course to
    installing and configuring NLSBS9 you can get it by running this url :-
    http://www.novell.com/partners/nlsbs...lsbs_final.pdf
    NLSBS9, for me, has been rock solid and all issues with it have been
    caused by my own inexperienced hands.....GroupWise has performed
    faultlessly.
    Hope this helps..
    Rgds.

  • Cannot see the infoareas through Bex

    Hi:
    I have requested for and got BI Admin access for a Dev APO server (SCM 7.0). I tried to logon to the Bex query designer but cannot see the infoareas (or the cubes underneath them). There are several infoareas and cubes on the server when I look at them through RSA1.
    What am I doing wrong and what should I request for?
    Also, the report designer does not come up for some reason. A window is coming up saying that the report designer stopped working, etc. (this is the standard windows message when a program takes too long, etc.)
    Appreciate your help with both of these issues.
    Satish

    The infoareas should show up regardless of whether we have built a query or not. I worked with the security and after a step by step analysis, could finally get to see the infoareas.
    Regarding the other issue with Report Designer, it was the same problem described in the thread below
    Error message in Report designer "Activate Default Theme: 0TRADESHOW"
    The issue was that unless the theme was added through transaction RSOR or RSORBCT, it was acting up when it was trying to come up. After the theme was added, report designer came up fine.
    Thanks everyone,
