Google \ DNS issue?

[Clementi]

Oh neat, saint_david, thanks for that. I can get Bing too (never thought of using Bing before!)

Except that I still can't get to any of the pages, as they won't load! I can get Bing, but none of its search results.

Given up on the Sky helpline - was on hold for 1 hr 10 mins and they still hadn't answered.

Looking at each of your profiles, you are all using different Sky routers and are located across the country. This rules out initial questions, but I am wondering if it might be related to some other common factor.

Loading the Google search engine was no issue for me here.

I am wondering if it is a particular set of servers of IP range that is causing a problem.

Mine are:
IP: 90.205.nnn.nnn
Network Type: MER
Sky DNS Servers: 90.207.238.97 & 90.207.238.99

Also some of you may wish to try the OpenDNS servers instead of Google's:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

here's mine:

IP Address 90.204.nn.nn
Network Type MER
Domain Name Server 90.207.238.97 & 90.207.238.99

Try doing the following and see what you get, could be a server down somewhere.

start -> Run -> type: CMD then hit ok/enter -> (command window opens) type: tracert google.co.uk -> hit enter you should see something like the following (can take a few minutes to complete)

Same problem here, using Bing to search instead for the first time ever!

Back up for me now and all working
I just lost web access to Google and ebay that I could see, but I could get to BBC, this site, digital spy and all the daily paper sites.

Sky have posted this;

While I was waiting this morning for it all to get back to normal...
I used bing search while google wasnt accessible, that was a bad experience, the searches were very poor and not very relevant and I had uk option selected, but still had all US sites, a joke! I wont be using that again.
And Yahoo is a very messy page on opening and displaying search results, long time since I have been there, yuk, glad to be back to working Google.
