Google may have just tried to visit your website's when then there was a problem.

Leave it for a bit and see if Google visits again within a few more days.
Otherwise, it may be time to either :
1. Change DNS servers (could possible use openDNS), or
2. The probelm is with your hosting

One other thought...

Are you running any cloaking scripts on your site. It may ne trying to block content based on IP address and generating this error.. Just a thought

So, leave it for a day or so, and check your cPanel latest visitor stats and see if BigG is back looking at your site.,

Hope this helps

Bruce

  thanks Bruce.. openDNS is something i might have to explore. Why would I "be writing these sorts of post just to get your post count up could you" ...whats the benefit of posting (might be a dopey question or have i missed something?)
  
  Thanks

Trace route - free tools here (ping it)

Free online network utilities - traceroute, nslookup, automatic whois lookup, ping, finger

You may also want to try flushing or reseting your DNS cache
Windows XP and Vista
1. Click on Start button and then click on Run (alternatively just hit Windows + R keys) to open Run command dialog. Type Cmd into the Run box, and hit Enter. In Windows Vista, open an elevated command prompt.
2. A command prompt DOS window will open. Type ipconfig /flushdns and then press Enter to purge the DNS resolver cache.
