It may help to be aware that Blackberry/RIM publish a list of the IP addresses that they use for connections to internet server providers.
The list can be found here.
2020Media’s email services are fully supported on Blackberry mobile devices and we encourage anyone using one to configure their 2020Media email for use remotely.
The best way is to use IMAP for connection as it is the fastest.
A central London network node belonging to BT disastrously flooded and caught fire yesterday.
The incident at Burne House in north Paddington affected landlines, broadband and mobile services across the west of London. Over 400 local exchanges are connected from this site, so connectivity was also affected across the south east and further afield.
“The flood water has been removed from the exchange building overnight and power supply has begun to be restored,” BT said this morning.
“We are now beginning to restore communications services to customers and this work will continue throughout the day.”
The impact of the great torrent/inferno was even felt on the continent. There have been reports that roaming for Vodafone, O2 and 3 customers in Austria is currently down, with operators pointing the finger at Paddington.

Configuring Apache with Tomcat
You might have ProxyPass configured to pass all requests to Tomcat. However its better to serve some content directly from Apache for speed – images for instance. If you arrange your site into a well planned folder structure you can exclude certain folders in proxy_ajp.conf.
You might have this:
ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8080/
Just add this line BEFORE the catch-all above:
ProxyPass /images ! ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8080/
The file is parsed in order, so the exclude must come first.
Watch out for more Tomcat tips and tricks in the future. Information on our market leading Tomcat hosting can be found here
2020Media attended the recent UK internet governance forum, held at the Department for Business Innovation and Skills on 3rd February.
The meeting brought together reports from the international Sharm El Sheikh meeting, and discussed the future of the IGF. Chaired by a cross-party group of MPs, the meeting attracted representatives, from amongst others, Nominet, Childnet, LINX, Internet Safety groups and regional goverment.
Although 2020Media is a small part of the internet in the UK, we believe participation in events like the UK Internet Governance Forum is important. At the moment, we are lucky enough that we as ordinary users and businesses can have a say in the governance and direction of internet strategy so it’s essential that we exercise that right.
One of the sections focussed on GreenIT, which we promote through EcoServ, a division offering highly efficient dedicated servers and virtualisation technology.
2020Media has begun its roll out of IPv6 address space.
Our IPv6 range, 2a00:19e8::/32 is now active and our technical staff have received RIPE training.
A /32 by the way equates to a mind-boggling number of internet IP addresses – 18,446,744,073,709,552,000! Customers can expect to receive /64 addresses (2ˆ64 ip numbers).
