It appears resnet is blocking the Google.com domain. I'm pretty sure this is NC State, and not a server error, because I can access it perfectly fine through proxies.

Everyone else in the dorm is having the same problem.

Try it for yourself: http://www.google.com/

This is the page that I get.

I'm not on resnet (at work in Cary, actually) and having the same issue.

very odd.

i'd put more money on a dns mishap as opposed to it being blocked....

yeah it's happening to me. I was trying to google mad shit earlier and I had to go to yahoo.

Some Windows users will have to manually issue a command to see this issue resolved. Click on Start, then Run, then type:

ipconfig /flushdns

and click OK.

are all these changes in anticipation of the Conficker.C virus?

someone screwed up adding conficker domains?

3/30/2009 6:29:46 PM

Someone screwed up, but I bet it wasn't ComTech.

they fubared all sorts of things. first half the dns servers went down. then google got blocked, then webmail locked up.

it weirded me out on campus today, at first I thought somehow something had gotten on my laptop that was trying to redirect my google queries through some malicious site first, but my gmail was still fine and every other site worked
