| 201253 | 2003-12-17 08:20:00 | Weird. I've tried www.google.co.nz and www.google.com and still I get the same old problem - 404. Haven't changed any settings recently... I can use Yahoo (but I'd rather not). Anyone having the same problem, or maybe some advice? | Lizard (2409) | ||
| 201254 | 2003-12-17 08:29:00 | Maybe your ISP is having trouble with their DNS server? I know Xtra has had some problems in the past. I'm with Slingshot and no problems here. |

| 201256 | 2003-12-17 08:44:00 | has this just started? google just changed their pic to a plane for the 2 "O"s. that may possibly have something to do with it. contact your isp anyway for server difficulties anyway. | Megaman (344) | ||
| 201257 | 2003-12-17 08:44:00 | Try doing a traceroute to the URL (tracert www.google.co.nz in the command prompt). I too can access it with no problems, so I would suggest first of all try checking your hosts file for erroneous entries. I suggest opening it with WordPad (or else your favourite text editor, though if you use Notepad all the time, use WordPad for this). For Win9x, it will be located in 'C:\WINDOWS\hosts', in XP/2000 it should be 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts'. Perhaps there is something that has added a false entry for google.co.nz or google.com (even though I doubt the possibility of this happening for both URLs is that high). Try also clearing your history and temporary internet files. |

| 201258 | 2003-12-17 08:47:00 | Might I also add that, if your traceroute is successful (or even semi-successful), it should tell you that it is tracing a route to www.google.akadns.net. Mind telling us your OS, browser, ISP, and whether you knowingly use a proxy too, because that may help track down problems. |

| 201259 | 2003-12-17 09:22:00 | www.google.co.nz and www.google.com are both fine on Quicksilver. :) So it will be your ISP, who is your ISP????? |
