Trying to connect to Google tonight and it's just not happening.

Anyone else having problems with it, or just me ?

Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't true!

Playing with your Googles too much can wear them out and stop them working, at least I think that’s what Philip and Fern said?

Works fine

Type in 'FZ28' and hit Enter key - that should tell you if it's working

Turn it off, and back on again

Tried that - still no good

The slander suit is in the post :P

Quality viewing, so can't criticise you there

Can anyone recommend another search engine that is worth using please ?

Thanks Rob - that's opened straight up, so I haven't got a clue what I've done to stuff Google

Close your browsers, open a command line and type "ipconfig /flushdns"

Once you've done that give it another go.

Might be your DNS is upset somewhere.

Also does this work?:

This will sound absolutely pathetic, but how do you open a command line ?

Yes - that opens up fine

Have you just buggered up your homepage?

And I thought you were a lady :confused:

You wouldn't catch me using language like that :rotz:

Joking aside, it’s quite possible that you just need to reset Google as your homepage, at least if that is how you open your browser.

Done that - still no good

So why is it this link works, but I can't access my normal home page Google ?

Mega :confused::confused::confused:

If the address is correct, could it be you anti virus? Do you run Norton by any chance?

No - I gave up Norton ages ago.

Am currently running Virgin Media's PC Guard, but I've had that for a while now and it's never caused a problem before.
