i just noticed this, perhaps it started happening around several hours ago

[nova2]

[MrPickins]

It's their famous load balancer problem.

Balances the load

there was a period of two weeks where Firefox couldn't access Google.com for me. that was a bad two weeks, I had to use Live search, and none of my quicksearches worked

Yep, pretty much. Also directs you to another balancer that is closer to you geographically.

Most all of google's infrastructure problems can be pointed to the content switches/load balancers. Or more than likely a disconnect between the app/content folks and the network team.

google.com wont load for me again, amazing, i use and have used google so much and have never seen this (that i can remember) before.

well, the billion dollar giant google has loaded right for me like 99% of the time, so, uh, good enough perhaps.

It happens. Don't worry about it. It's just a website and mistakes happen.

 

[nova2]

unlike before, google.com loads fine on another computer in my network, but on box2 it wont load again.

bah, whatever.

I'm getting the same thing. I'm also on Comcast. You're not in Oregon, are you Nova?
