| reply to xfezz2 Re: Problems loading google (DNS issues possibly?)
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. |

| 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:
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.
