Problems loading google (DNS issues possibly?)

Author	All Replies
xfezz2 join:2005-12-13 Mokena, IL	Problems loading google (DNS issues possibly?) Well this just started happening a few days ago. All other web pages would load, except google. So my first thought was to run a full virus scan and check for spyware to make sure nothing was infected or hijacked. Both clean. Then I went to check my host file. That too is clean. Well I "yahooed" and came across a gentleman that was running into the same problem as I am. He too is using Comcast as his ISP and he knew of other people that were having a similar issue as well. In order for him to get google loading again he had to unplug his router and power cycle his modem. So I thought what the heck I'll try it. And well what do you know it works. But after a day or so I'd run into the same problem and I'd have to reset my modem and router again. I was just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue or what may be causing it?

Dgurion @comcast.net	Yes, Im having the same problem here also. It works for a while and then turns off. I know it has nothing to do with my computer, as it does this with a clean Windows XP install, and also a clean Linux install. So, it can't be adware/virus related. Maybe its Comcast being Comcastic.

I suspect it is more likely Google. espaeth has already explained it in another Comcast thread on Google difficulties. »[Connectivity] Google blocked or down!? -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum

andyross join:2003-05-04 Schaumburg, IL	reply to xfezz2 This is affecting many people with many different ISP's. There have been posts from AT&T DSL and others with similar issues. Sometimes, altering wireless connections and some forms of wireless security make it work.

c33v33 join:2003-10-14 Chicago, IL	reply to xfezz2 Same problem. Started a few days ago. I'm guessing Comcast DNS issues. »64.233.187.99 works for google, but not »www.google.com. I notice this happens at night for me. Google works during the afternoons. Not sure why.

espaeth Digital Plumber Premium,MVM join:2001-04-21 Minneapolis, MN ·voip.ms ·Vitelity VOIP ·Callcentric ·VoiceStick ·ViaTalk ·Comcast ·Embarq	reply to c33v33 This could be a problem with Comcast DNS if they are caching records longer than Google's advertised TTL. Using Comcast's DNS servers, can you run "nslookup" and do the following: > set debug > www.google.com The output at the end should have something that looks like this: QUESTIONS: www.google.com, type = A, class = IN ANSWERS: -> www.google.com canonical name = www.l.google.com ttl = 82165 (22 hours 49 mins 25 secs) -> www.l.google.com internet address = 64.233.167.147 ttl = 238 (3 mins 58 secs) -> www.l.google.com internet address = 64.233.167.99 ttl = 238 (3 mins 58 secs) -> www.l.google.com internet address = 64.233.167.104 ttl = 238 (3 mins 58 secs) What do you get back for TTL values when it's not working? Google has their www.l.google.com records set to a 300 second (5 min) time to live (ttl), so if you see a number bigger than that in the addresses that resolve for www.l.google.com you could very well have a DNS issue. -Eric

tshirt Premium,MVM join:2004-07-11 Snohomish, WA	google has verified it was a DNS error (or hack? or problem with the Web Accelerator Beta?) that then spread to other ISP's DNS. Since many who didn't get google.com but instead got google.corn.net a hack seems likely.

B728320 @comcast.net	reply to xfezz2 I have this problem every night on my Comcast connection. Every other site works including mail.google.com, but nothing that is www.google.com/. It only happens in the evening. It works fine during the day all day every day. It seems odd that it would only not work at night? Has Comcast posted anything about it?
