Is Google Down?

[emw]

Anyone else having problems getting to Google? I can get everywhere else I've tried, but with Google I get:

Safari can’t find the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because it can’t find the server “www.google.com”.

Am I alone?

No, you're not alone.
http://www.google.co.uk/ is also down...

New searches on Tuesday.

 

[Blue Velvet]

It's back up again.

Spooky...

 

[edesignuk]

Thank GOD it's not just me, was a little worried

Now, how the hell can Google go down??

edit: yup, back.

it's alive again...the apocolypse is not here yet

No, you're not alone.
http://www.google.co.uk/ is also down...

Hmm. Must have been temporary. It seems to be back up again

I even waited awhile to post it... ah, well. Apparently nothing to see here. Wonder what caused it?

 

[ham_man]

Uh-oh

I am getting

"DNS lookup error

DNS lookup error"

I think that Google is down again...

Both U.K. and com appear still down to me.

 

[Blue Velvet]

Wonder what caused it?

Too many lurkers.

Have run a couple of searches. Seems to be A-OK to me...

Disconcerting... can't imagine using another search engine.

 

[Blue Velvet]

Aargh.

www.google.com is referring straight to google.co.uk for me.

But http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en seems to be working fine...

Both Google and Gmail are down here. Noticed it a few mins ago when I tried to check my e-mail. Thought it was just my parent's computer being dumb. Oh well, hopefully no big problems but being down at 7pm on a Sat. seems a little weird.

Google is back up now. This is kinda scary. Can't think of what I would do without it...

 

[iSaint]

still working in the US

Wierd. It's up for me, so I wonder if it's not Google specifically, but something to do with DNS servers... but why only Google, unless they've changed IP addresses and it's taking awhile to propagate.

Seems .com is still down. This is really scary. I'm doing some research for a project now and have to resort to yahoo or altavista. I never realized how much they suck before.

i cannot access Gmail.

different browsers, repairing conection, and restarts and still no dice.

hmm

I also noticed that it wasnt working for me but I didn't want to post because I though that it was just me.

I mean, google being down?

I don't think I would be able to live without google for 24 hours. I use it for EVERYTHING.

www.google.com is referring straight to google.co.uk for me.

Google.com has been doing that for MONTHS for me (going to .co.uk), thought it was something they'd put in place

 

[emw]

Yeah, just noticed gmail is down. I'm betting something changed on their end and it has to filter out to everyone's DNS servers.

For those of you that can't get to Google, try http://216.239.57.104

Yes is has for ages but you can change it to .com,unfortunately I've forgotten the address.

Is back for me now also.

Gmail has been down a while - but I haven't had any trouble getting to Google.

I don't know that it's Google's issue though. Looks like DNS - could be a simple mistake at Google's end, could be an attack on DNS in general or a poisoning attempt... could be almost anything.

I never use it as is.

My home page is:
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en

Yeah that's like.. never happened. Glad I missed it. Is Google ALLOWED to go down?

 

[Blue Velvet]

Who cares?

As long as we've got Mroogle... *goes to link but that's not working either.*

I'd rather lose Google than MacRumors! I can always use Yahoo!, but don't force me to go to a different forum!
