    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.

    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.....

    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. :rolleyes:
