I need some help please! I keep getting ERR_CONNECTION_TIME_OUT when trying to access MyIR - which is kind of vital as a contract accountant to be able to access!

 

I've got my Macbook Air and my HP Probook. I use both of these for work, albeit for two different jobs. Between both laptops, different browsers (chrome, edge & safari) I'm having the same issue and I've ruled these out. I have spark fibre at home, and this is where I work 50% of the time. The remainder of my office hours are 40 minutes up the road, with Vodafone fibre in the office.

 

Accessing MyIR works great on vodafone fibre and on my vodafone hotspot. However, I cannot for the life of me, access it from my spark fibre connection, which leads me to think its Spark Fibre (for some reason my S22 ultra refuses to be a good phone and hotspot, another issue for another day)

 

I spoke with my account manager at the IRD and she said there is *some* overloading on MyIR at present, but I'm not seeing any signs of it when using VF and I doubt that it would be overloaded at 11pm on Saturday night.

 

After process of elimination, its lead me to believe its my spark fibre.

 

Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to try and fix this? I've had to turn down some contract jobs this week as a result and I'm wondering if I need to change ISP. FWIW my modem/router is the standard Spark Smart Modem, wifi APs are Unifi AR etc, not that that matters. i can't even spot where to change the DNS settings in the admin portal for the modem to try that as an option :(

 

Open to any and all ideas, and yes I'm trying to contact Spark again via their normal channels.

I might be off-track, but there was a time when myIR wouldn't load unles you had a referral token from the actual IRD website.

 

Might be worth a try - start with ird.govt.nz and cilck on "myIR login" button in the top right corner.

Yeah thats the way I've been accessing it for years, but it would be nice to even get to the bit to put in my login and password - can't even get that far!

Using Sparks DNS servers?

 

not using a VPN or other service that changes your DNS server?

Change the DNS directly on the computer.





Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

myIR appears to have an issue though, i.e., I logged in and it timed out after a little bit of activity, logged back in and has done the same thing.

 

How many $100M did it cost??

And you're accessing it through Spark or someone else? I had no issues all day on vodafone, only when I'm at home on Spark. 

 

(Sucks to be me and have a filing deadline of 31 March 😭 - but yeah, tax dollars at work)

I also note they have a planned partial systems outage for tonight at 11pm-11:59pm... That's a short window so sounds like a connectivity switch or a reboot - but might also be something to alleviate load or other issues.

On my iPad the http:// does not work but the https:// does. Maybe they are missing a redirect? Try https://myir.ird.govt.nz/
