This is not a typical problem we normally see on VP.

I did not have internet outage when VP was down at that time.. I was able to access alldeaf.com, used backup VRS via webcam, etc.. Sorenson VP was only thing was not able to reach SVRS at all. Even I put the VP directly to cable modem and verified DCHP obtain public IP and it wont even connect VRS.. I can even ping svrs.tv (Assuming I got that address right). It just cleared up on it own within 4 hours but i suspects VRS tech support might have got it resolved cuz I emailed and recieved email from them less than 30 minutes of issue resolved. It could be possible that their LDAP server was down??

When you see empty contact list, empty missed calls list, etc it means that it lost Internet connectivity which usually caused by your High Speed Internet company and the best bet is to contact High Speed Internet company first to see if they got outrages. If true business there is outrage in your area, then Sorenson won't be able to help you at all because Sorenson is not Internet service company. They only provide equipment and Relay service, that is it. My High Speed Internet service has average of 3 outrages each year. Sometimes more sometimes nothing for whole year. What I do? Just wait for them to clear themselves out and do powercycle on my VP, router and modem and get back on VP in no time. If I had messed up with VP setting or router, it will take longer to clear this up.

There is another way to find out, and that is... IF You got a computer and if you can not go in AllDeaf or other website, then you will know there is problems with Internet connectivity.
