I'm stumped, this problem only ever happens at my workplace. I'm not sure what ISP but I believe we run on a fairly fractured T1 line. The problem that coems is google will occasionally randomly go down. or some part will go down... or i can only access it with a certain browser. for instance: my current situation is that firefox cannot open any *.google.com links but www.xzcz.com (redirects to google) works fine. on IE i can open www.google.com and www.google.com/ig but video.google.com doesn't work. It'll eventually come back in maybe an hour or two but its a pain to use yahoo everytime this happens since i'm so used to the google interface (to the point that i don't feel yahoo is a search engine anymore but rather one of those "search engines" that generate spam links... i know this is completely off but that's just how i feel).
restarting browser doesn't work.ping www.google.com does not result in "Ping request could not find host www.google.com. Please check the name and try again." All other links to my knowledge work fine (i've beaten the internet! yeah!11!). When google goes down its usually for the whole company and i assume their situations are as random as mine is.
[edit: now i cannot even open www.google.com in ie]
