Hi all,

I'm getting errors back when I load Firefox {default page google.com/ncr} and on this site the google link also fails {colour image for link not being displayed either}. IE doesn't show it though other sites like this one , bbc, etc. ok in both browsers. Is this just me or others seeing problems?

Regards

Relax

IE will not connect to Goggle for me this morning too.

Prolly something going on with their servers or the backbone.

Wait for a few hours, it'll probably be back very soon.

Cheers

I haven't been able to raise Google on IE or FF since last night!

I had a few timeouts about an hour ago (12:00) but all is fine now.

I have as well not been able to raise google (incl. gmail and gmail hosted) since last night. Furthermore is my ADSL really slow...

GAH!

This sucks. I can live without google but now my Gmail is down

Same problem here. I've called them and I've finally had a solution. The customer representative handed me the following address for the google page. You can use http://66.249.93.104 instead of www.google.com and everything will work just fine. I also have problems loading ThaiVisa, it takes a few minutes before I can log in and enter the main page. Hope they'll have everything sorted out asap.

Where did you called?

Do you know the IP for gmail.com and mail.google.com/hosted/

For once it's not me with problems. I have been on and off Gmail and Google since 7 this morning and have had no problems.

I have had this problem too, and tried different browsers: safari, opera, flock. The problem remains.

I cannot reach google or gmail! The workaround IP is ok to reach google, but gmail is still not reachable. The gmail notifier cannot reach it, either.

Using Firefox, I'm getting timeouts on a forum that's never done that before, and it may account for Yahoo being unable to set up a credit card purchase. I'll try IE for those. Unusual day, perhaps.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, just for once it's not me

Odd if it works by ip not through DNS, wonder where that's come adrift.

The Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) go's to far with trying to block content from the Google search engine.

Many website owners now-a-day use Google tools to improve the websites they build, services are Google Analytics, Google Adsense, Google Sitesearch.

And this all because it is sometimes possible to the content of websites blocked by ICT in the Google site cache. It is also funny to know that many Government websites are also hard to get.

Maybe the Thai government can also join China, all I have to say China is trying to open up, while Thailand is closing down on peoples freedom.

Internet is slow as hel_l today too.

Why is high speed internet such a ######ing luxury item in Thailand? Those jerks want 20,000 baht for dsl that I would pay $30 bucks for anywhere else in the world.

If, for whatever reason, one needs an easy lookup for ip address from a URL, there's a free program at the link below which makes the process easy on a Windows machine.

PS on the speed issue almost any site using a counter script seems to be in a time vortex.

I'm using Opera and i still cant access Google.

Since morning log in to site it has only worked right for about 5 minutes (and then crashed Firefox). Google and specific to this site "pagead2.googlesyndication.com" is not available so every page load requires a minute extra wait to time out the ads for top and side of forum page. Have had same problem earlier with www.speedtest.net load delay as Google can not be reached but once loaded the Internet is testing at full speed. Sites in US not running Google links seem to be loading as fast as any other day for me.

Just tried to search for something on Google and its not working.

Not only problems within Thailand. According to some webmaster websites it's a sporadic world wide problem with Google today.

I use http://www.google.com/intl/en/ as the startpoint for google, no problems here!

Have had no problems from Chiangmai University (google thailand). However trying to use http://www.google.com/ncr (no country redirect - generic google site) I was getting gateway timeouts until just now.

George how about a post in forum support or announcements so that everybody knows TV being so slow today is not your fault.

What ever I do, except for the IP, says:

Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"

Google is still down both Google.com amnd Gmail.com

The IP of google is: 72.14.207.99 and Gmail.com is: 64.233.171.83. Ping is not possivble: Request Timed Out.

Don't know if it's related, but looks like it:

Since 2300PM yesterday CSLoxinfo is having really big problems with international links. Although they won't mention anything on their website, you will hear a recorded message when you call to the helpdesk.

ADSL is experiencing problems nation wide. Corporate leased lines same story

I asked the engineer how long it will take to solve the problems and provide the service I'm paying for. "Maybe two days sir". I asked him if he meant hours, but no it was days.

Judging from the configuration change they sent me for my router, it is very obvious that the majority working there really loves the try-and-cry method in diagnosing and solving problems.

Anyway, CSL is making a mess, which will probably have impact on other ISPs as well.

Want to help the Thai way in solving this problem? Go to the temple and pray this problem has disappeared tomorrow. The engineers are probably doing the same!
