I hate this type of thread, and here I am posting one...

But I can't reach any Google service right now...search, mail, etc.

Is it just me?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

      Steve,

      Just used gmail no problem here in Turkey.

      Youtube's been down for a year and a half, though.

          Youtube's been banned in Turkey since last year. Apparently, they won't lift the ban unless Google allow the government to censor videos they don't like WORLDWIDE. Can't think why Google said no.

          Youtube is still the 4th most popular site here.

    No problem here with Gmail or Google search.

    I'm surfing from California if that makes a difference.

    OK, thanks all

    It's back. It was my ISP...they decided to play around with their DNS entries. Lovely.

    Sorry for polluting the main forum...

    I appreciate your help!

    It's good that you found out where the problem came from. Well, slightly different problem happened to me last time where I could not login tp websites that have secured connection. Probably got something to do with the firewall.

    No problem with google in my site. But I had similar sort of problem for other site that I don't want to mention. They say they are updating. If they are updating why wouldn't I be able to access?

      - Nice one, Dan.

      On another note, why would someone would bump a stupid thread like this after 2 days...and after I already said the problem was at my end?

        Not so fast. I can't reach Google.

        For no apparent reason, my IE8 stopped working yesterday afternoon.

        Firefox and Chrome work fine.

        I've been on the phone with Microsoft Tech Support for almost 2 hours. They have me on hold right now.

        They finally got my IE8 working, and when I went to "test" it by going to google.com, it wouldn't come up on IE, Firefox or Chrome.

        MS is trying to figure out why.

          This may help somebody.

          After 2 1/2 hours with Microsoft IE8 tech support, and after kicking me upstairs to the guru's guru, and many tests and trials and pings later...

          ...she had me delete my "hosts" files. It worked (!) and she said that some spyware must have been redirecting from Google.com to Bing.com search engine.

          So now IE8 is working again, AND I can reach Google.

          Whew!

          I don't even know what the above really means, but I know some of you will consider it simple language.

    DNS is the system by which network-connected computers translate names (like domains) into IP addresses needed to actually reach a computer over the network.

    Before your computer even tries asking a DNS server to do that translation, though, it looks up the name in your "hosts" file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts).

    If the name is in that file, then the IP address in that file is used, rather than looking it up.

    So if some program you installed (purposely or without your knowledge) added google.com to that file, then whatever IP address was listed there would be used whenever you type google.com into any program, rather than asking a DNS server and finding out the real IP of one of Google's data centers.
