Have not been able to access any Google site for the past 5 mins in the UK, just me or are others experiencing the same ?
Well I can't access Google OR login to Adsense OR get Adsense ads on any site - from the UK - using BT broadband - - But I can via a US proxy.
Down for me.... I even restarted my internet thinking it was originally my connection when I couldn't get onto google and gmail wasn't refreshing, heh. I'm in the Oxford area at the moment, on a BT broadband line.
Now im thinking this could be some kind of virus / attack. My laptop downstairs is accessing Google fine, but my main laptop cant access anything Google!
Hmm... The computer downstairs seems to work fine, but this computer upstairs (wireless network) has trouble with it - they're on the same internet connection though. I'm not using any AV and I use Firefox. EDIT Ok, it seems the downstairs computer homepage was google.co.uk - the homepage here is google.com - which is why it didn't work. Google.com/Gmail.com doesn't work, but Google.co.uk does. Edit again.... seems like Google.co.uk works - but it's screwed up. It can't handle 2 searches in a minute it seems, keeps timing out.
Mine are both on Wireless, when this one stopped working, I turned on the one downstairs & that worked, so if there has been some kind of attack, the pc that works was off so wouldnt have got it........weird I guess you rule out a IE or Norton attack then.....
Just noticed my PC was waiting to install a MS Update, the alert has gone so presumabley its installed it. It must be a MS update, this should be fun watching this one pan out lol
Its an issue outside of google probably in some major DNS server. My work PC on BT broadband works fine but my home PC on BT broadband won't work.
Adsense isn't loading on any sites for me either. This suggests it really is a DNS issue. Hope its fixed soon. I need to check my emails.
