Is There A Problem With Google Today?

[nivrip]

Can't link to any of the Google websites today.

I can get onto PCR by clicking it on my Favourites list but nothing else on the list will connect. I note that there has been a problem with the stats today - or is that just a coincidence?

I think the stats problem is just a co-incidence that it happened to be down at the time. Google works ok for me here though - which ISP are you using?

If you suspect a website is down there's a great free tool that can check: http://www.alertra.com (just type the URL in the box at the top right).

If you're familiar with the command prompt you can also try:

"tracert google.co.uk" to see where the problem is along the connection

Thanks for the reply Ian. When I click on your links I also get Cannot Connect to the Internet.


How is it that I can connect to PCR but nothing else? Everything was fine last night.

 

[nivrip]

Did eventually get to alertra and it tells me that the UK Google site is OK.


Any other ideas that I can try?

 

[Ian]

It could just be your router playing up - I'd restart your PC and router and see if that sorts it

 

[nivrip]

Restarted PC and Hey Presto ! everything back to normal. Thanks for your help Ian.


Still can't work out how I could connect to PCR and nothing else.

Ok, maybe not I've had similar problems with my old router - it would refuse to browse to any other new sites, apart from ones that were open at the time the problem occured. No idea why, even to this day!
