NACRO

Definitely you,

ajm

might be an issue with your ISP.

Is it failing on DNS lookup or connect?

try http://216.239.59.99/

If that works then googles record has dropped out of your ISPs DNS... if it doesn't work then you most likely have a routing problem between you/your ISP and google.

mattstant

that htp doesnt work either ajm beginiing to think it is isp as this is in intermittent problem and i just assumed google was down.

thats BT for you !!!!!

just get "page cannot be displayed" all the time

weird.... we are on easynet who use BT's network and it works ok. Try doing a trace route on it:-

at the command prompt type 'tracert www.google.com'

It should show you where its getting stuck.

it should look something like:-

[pre]
Tracing route to www.google.akadns.net [216.239.59.99]

over a maximum of 30 hops:
