Every now and then, Facebook just goes retarded on my browsers.
I pulled up Firebug while loading a page and was getting 503 errors on a couple of css files.
When I try to visit a css file directly in my browser, I get a DNS server error?!
And just tried to renew IP with the router, the problem persists.
DAMMIT!!!!!!!!! Best way to get around this? Is there some sort of proxy I can use???!

Now, CSS for facebook is dead on all browsers (on both computers). What the HELL IS going on!?!?!?

Singled the problem down to b.static.ak.fbcdn.net. It responds to pings. This is definetely a DNS issue, and Sodetel can kiss my freaking ass.

that never happened with me , weird problem !
pikatore
I don't get it... WHY would everything work fine, but DNS shit happens to that address? Facebook loads apart from the pics, css, javascript, all the stuff that makes it function. It's so damn annoying.

try lite.facebook.com is it functioning ?
pikatore
I'm also getting 503 errors to clients1.google.com, so Google Autosuggest doesn't work. This is madness
pikatore
lite.facebook.com calls on static.ak.fbcdn.net, and that is 503ing as well. The normal facebook calls on b.static.ak.fbcdn.net.
And no, the lite version is without CSS formatting.

You're right, the problem is over now. But damn I've never had such a bizarre situation before... DNS craziness?

ohhh then you have witnessed nothing of the internet in Lebanon , for example just this morning my mom decided to clean my desk (electronics and junk were piling) she found a network cable not plugged into anything , she decided to connect it back to the wireless router ! while the other end of the same wire was already connected to the router , doing so she did a loop that deprived about 600 users of internet , my mom practically shutdown the mans ISP ! :P
euryale

J4D
hehe , i dont own the ISP ! what made you think so ! :D
